Freedom Holding announced the addition of new members to its board of directors and the creation of a chief legal officer position, effective May 28, 2024. Appointees include an employee director and two independent directors, all with a focus on supporting the continued enhancement of corporate governance, enterprise risk management and compliance. “It is with great pleasure that we welcome the appointments of Dr. Kairat Kelimbetov, and Messrs. Andrew Gamble and Philippe Vogeleer to the Freedom Holding Corp. board of directors,” commented Timur Turlov, the chairman of the board of directors and CEO of the company. “I am also pleased to announce the creation of a CLO position for the Company. This new role is designed to assist us in establishing a unified legal structure across the enterprise and improve the coordination of the multi-jurisdictional legal affairs of the Company. Working with local legal teams, the CLO will occupy a vital role for the Company as we continue to develop our business segments internationally, and will aid in our regulatory compliance,” commented Turlov. “Our former board member, Jason Kerr, has resigned his position as a Freedom Holding Corp. member of the board of directors and has agreed take on this role.
