Serial entrepreneur Alex Depledge MBE has stepped down as the CEO of Resi, the largest residential architect in the UK.
She founded Resi in 2016 and has announced she’s taking a place on the board and joked she now plans to work 50 hours a week instead of 80!
Depledge has played an increasingly influential role in business in recent months after Chancellor Rachel Reeves appointed her as the first-ever entrepreneurship advisor to the Treasury.
Entrepreneurs now have a direct line to government and Depledge is actively looking at ways to reduce barriers for businesses, entrepreneurs and investors.
Writing on LinkedIn she said: “After a decade as CEO of Resi, I’m stepping back from the role and moving to the board. It’s the right time.
“Joe Whitworth and Nic Yeeles have been doing a brilliant job in their new posts as CEO of Resi Design and CEO of Resi Labs.
“This past year has been a tough one personally. One of those ‘keep showing up while life happens in the background’ years.
“What could very easily have been an annus horribilis has ended feeling hopeful, and genuinely exciting.”
