Rightmove has confirmed the appointment of Ruaridh Hook as its new chief financial officer.

Hook has also been appointed an executive director and the move will be effective from 15 September.

The property portal has confirmed that Alison Dolan will step down as CFO and as an executive director on the same date. Dolan will remain at Rightmove in a supporting position for a short transitionary period until a date for her departure has been finalised.

Hook, who first joined Rightmove in 2016, has been head of commercial finance and financial planning and analysis at the group since 2020. Prior to Rightmove, Hook worked in corporate finance at EY for over five years, qualifying as a chartered accountant.

Rightmove CEO, Johan Svanstrom, said: “Ruaridh has tremendous knowledge of our business, commercial model and the market, and of course is already well known to so many team members across our organisation and outside it.

“He has worked closely alongside Alison and me in recent years, and was instrumental in developing our strategy, which we outlined last year. I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Ruaridh since I joined, and we look forward to delivering our strategy together with the full leadership team, and building on Rightmove’s strong position and partnership model together.

“My thanks to Alison for all of her work and support throughout the time we have collaborated together, and on behalf of the team, I would like to thank her for all that she has contributed to Rightmove.”
