Alex Rudzinski has been appointed to the role of Chief Financial Officer (CFO) at multidisciplinary engineering firm adi Group.
Rudzinski’s arrival is part of adi Group’s ongoing commitment to invest in its leadership and systems, ensuring the business is well-positioned to drive performance and align with its ambitious five-year growth plan.
Rudzinski brings over 25 years of experience in both corporate and private equity-backed businesses, where he has played a pivotal role in supporting business growth, enhancing financial performance, and introducing strategic financial insight. Prior to joining the Group, he held senior financial roles within entrepreneurial and growth-focused businesses across a range of sectors, honing his expertise in managing complex financial structures and supporting business expansion.
As CFO, Rudzinski’s responsibilities will focus on strengthening the Group’s financial controls, overseeing accounting functions, and ensuring the business is positioned for long-term success. This includes providing timely, actionable data that supports each of adi’s 17 businesses, and providing forward-leaning insight to the executive to allow them to make the very best decisions.
Speaking about his new role, Rudzinski said: “I’m thrilled to join a business with both solid foundations and ambitious plans for growth, and I look forward to utilising my expertise to provide forward-looking, data-driven insights to facilitate that growth. Finance is more than a support function – it plays a pivotal role in driving performance, forecasting future growth, and creating the resources necessary for scalable success. This is why I’m keen to strengthen the strategic role of finance within the organisation.”
Alan Lusty, Founder and Chairman of adi Group, said: “We are delighted to welcome Alex to the adi Group team. His extensive experience and strong track record in driving financial strategy and supporting high-growth businesses will be invaluable as we continue to scale and expand. As the Group continues to evolve, having robust financial infrastructure will be key to supporting our ambitious growth plans, and Alex’s expertise will be pivotal in helping us meet these challenges head-on.”
Paul Smith, recently appointed CEO of adi Group, added: “I am delighted that Alex has joined us at this exciting time in adi Group’s recent history. As we accelerate through our five-year ‘Mission 2030’ growth plan, Alex’s financial stewardship and support to our constituent businesses will be essential in helping us deliver on our expectations.”
On 27 February FMJ will be hosting a webinar in partnership with workplace management solutions provider, Matrix Booking, to discuss the challenges posed by managing hybrid work models, meeting sustainability targets, and dealing with economic pressures, which have long required a fine balancing act for Facilities Managers. This is set to become more complicated this year with the Government announcing plans to allow staff to work more flexibly.
The webinar will bring together the digital experts from Matrix Booking alongside a panel of workplace thought leaders to discuss how FMs can create the perfect balance.
