Benjamin Lucas, former CEO of Amundi Technology, has been appointed CEO of Aztec Group with effect from 1 July 2026. He succeeds Sean Hagerty, who has been acting in an interim capacity since October 2025 and will resume his role as chairman of the board of directors.

Before joining Aztec Group, a fund administrator specialized in alternative investments, Benjamin Lucas was head of Amundi Technology, a global financial technology platform specialising in investment and wealth management. He also served as head of asset management at EY and as global head of asset management consulting at KPMG.

At the helm of a group with over 2,200 employees across Luxembourg, the United Kingdom, the United States, Ireland and the Channel Islands, his appointment comes at a time when the group is demonstrating strong technological ambition. Benjamin Lucas will need to combine skills with technology to enhance the quality of service provided by the Aztec Group to global players in the private markets.

This appointment, alongside other recent appointments to senior management roles, reflects the growth ambitions of a group founded over 25 years ago by Edward Moore.
