Raspberry Pi has appointed Tim Powell as its new CFO, effective from 16 October.

He brings over 20 years of leadership experience across fast-growing public companies, joining the high-performance computing firm from Alpha Group International, where he served as CFO.

In this time, he managed the company’s move from AIM to the main market of the London Stock Exchange and into the FTSE 250.

Prior to this, Powell held senior finance roles at the FTSE 100 London Stock Exchange Group, including as CFO and was the finance lead in its $27bn acquisition and integration of Refinitiv.

He replaces Richard Boult, who will step down from the role of CFO on 31 October.

Chairman at Raspberry Pi, Martin Hellawell, said: "Tim brings deep experience of scaling fast growing businesses and navigating periods of significant strategic development. His track record at LSEG and Alpha demonstrates his ability to combine financial discipline and operational execution, and we are excited to welcome him to Raspberry Pi.

"As we continue to expand our global reach and invest in the opportunities ahead, Tim's experience and perspective will be invaluable to the business and to the Board."

Powell concluded: "Raspberry Pi holds a unique position in UK technology and I am delighted to be joining at this stage in its development. The team has a clear vision and purpose and I look forward to contributing my experience from scaling international businesses to support the Company's next phase of growth."
