Listed HealthTech Induction Healthcare Group has appointed a chief financial officer.

Guy Mitchell, who has spent the last 10 years specialising in high-growth, investor-backed software companies, joins the virtual care platform with immediate effect.

Mitchell joins from Oxehealth, a global SaaS medical software firm supplying mental health trusts and care homes with niche solutions, where he served as interim CFO.

Since 2015 he has held CFO roles at six further companies: he led GFI Max through a significant growth period of £5m to £75m annual recurring revenue in just over three years, while he was interim CFO at AIM-listed FreeAgent, a SaaS-based accounting software company.

A qualified accountant and chartered tax adviser, he has overseen the acquisition and integration of five companies from different global locations including the UK, Armenia, the Netherlands and the US, and raised over £10m of VC and private equity investment.

“I would like to thank Olly for his support and hard work, especially during the acquisition of Attend Anywhere. Olly has been an invaluable member of the Induction management team and I wish him every success in his future pursuits.”
