AFIG has announced the appointment of D’mitri Zaprzala (pictured) as its new managing director, joining the business with immediate effect.
The appointment follows the recent hiring of Harry Hodell as director of specialist finance, as the company continues its strategic expansion.
Zaprzala brings a wealth of industry experience to the role, having most recently worked as CEO at Avamore Capital.
He will work closely with chief executive officer Jordan McBriar, alongside the wider leadership team, to drive the next phase of AFIG’s growth.
His role will centre on shaping operational strategy, strengthening the firm’s market position, and supporting the continued development of AFIG’s distribution and lending partnerships.
McBriar said: “There aren’t many opportunities to partner with genuine, well-respected and experienced talent nowadays, so welcoming D’mitri into the fold is a real milestone for us.
“His appointment as Group MD further cements our commitment to grow and keep re-shaping the specialist finance horizon.
“Working alongside myself, Harry and the wider team is hugely exciting, and we cannot wait to deliver on our plans for the future.”
Zaprzala added: “I’ve worked with Jordan for nearly 15 years and Harry for 10, in different ways, which makes this opportunity a natural fit for us all.”
