Rutherford Cross Retained by Synaptec to Appoint a Financial Controller

Rutherford Cross is delighted to be retained by Synaptec to recruit their newly appointed role of Financial Controller. This is a unique opportunity offering quick progression to Finance Director / CFO level.

Synaptec produces the world’s only passive electrical sensor networks for high-voltage power system monitoring. Synaptec brings together industry experts to devise creative solutions for its customers. Using its patented sensor technology, it provides more detail, intelligence and real-time data, to reduce outages and operational costs.

Synaptec’s Cable Condition Monitoring (CCM) platform is a simple and powerful solution to enable health monitoring of cable junctions and terminations. Using Synaptec’s Distributed Electrical Sensing (DES) technology, CCM delivers real-time, high-quality data on the cable screen earthing points and ambient temperature. Integrated and customisable threshold alarms and live measurement data are easily integrated with existing SCADA systems, giving wind farm operators awareness and actionable information on the health and status of terminations.

Synaptec’s management team, board of directors and advisors include former executive leaders from the power sector, renowned academic professors, and highly experienced energy entrepreneurs. Their insight and understanding have been instrumental in growing and developing both the business and its offerings.

While Synaptec is still relatively small in revenue, the business has great ambitions for the future and now has 40 dedicated employees; a number which will continue to grow with future contract wins. Synaptec is backed by a highly impressive Board which includes business leaders from some of its key investors including Foresight, Proserv and Megger Group. The original founders also retain a sizeable equity stake and are committed to the continued success of the business.

The newly created role of Financial Controller will report to the CEO and work closely with the CFO who has been working on a fractional basis and will naturally exit the business in time. Synaptec is keen to appoint a candidate who is ambitious and can quickly move into a Finance Director/CFO role. This is a key hire for Synaptec as it continues to bolster its leadership team, embarking on a year with a record projected order intake. The appointed candidate needs to be comfortable operating at Board level with regular interaction with senior level stakeholders.
