Ojan Rohani has joined fast-growing environmental consultancy Contollo Group as its new chief financial officer.
Ruth Percival founded NorthEdge-backed Contollo Group in 2024 and has already grown it to 230 staff and £35m turnover through a string of acquisitions.
The business has ambitious plans to double in size by the end of 2026, and the appointment of Rohani as CFO further strengthens Contollo’s senior leadership team.
Contollo Group CEO Ruth Percival said: “Ojan brings exactly the blend of technical expertise, transaction experience and strategic leadership we need as we continue to scale at pace.
“His track record in building finance functions, integrating acquisitions and supporting high-growth organisations will be invaluable as Contollo enters its next stage of expansion.”
Contollo has completed multiple acquisitions to date, including Abacus, MBA, TACE, ESP and KAM.
Rohani brings a strong blend of Big Four audit training, private equity experience and hands-on operational leadership in high-growth, multi-division organisations.
He began his career at BDO before moving to KPMG, building a rigorous technical foundation in audit, financial controls and reporting.
In 2019, he moved into industry to join Schroders Personal Wealth, the joint venture between Lloyds Banking Group and Schroders.
Most recently, Rohani served as group finance director at K3 Advisory Group, a private equity-backed professional services business.
He was part of the management team that helped steer the organisation through its transition from public to private ownership in February 2023, following investment from Sun Capital.
During his tenure, the group completed 10 acquisitions, with Rohani leading the integration programme and supporting the company’s evolution from a three-division PLC into a five-division private equity-backed organisation.
Rohani said: “Contollo is at a hugely exciting point in its evolution.
“The group has already achieved remarkable growth, and there is a clear ambition to scale further while helping clients transition to a low-carbon future.
“I’m looking forward to bringing my experience from K3, particularly in scaling private equity-backed businesses and building high-performing finance teams, to support Contollo through its next phase.”
