Zedra names chief people officer

Global professional services provider Zedra has appointed Aoife Habben chief people officer.

Currently based in London, Habben will relocate to Zedra’s Jersey office in early 2026 and join its executive committee. She will be instrumental in driving forward the provider’s people agenda in line with further growth ambitions, as well as its commitment to investing in its people and culture.

With more than two decades of experience in dynamic, high-growth environments, Habben has held senior HR leadership roles at Amazon, GE and, most recently, at a private equity-backed fintech firm.

She has a track record of building and nurturing high-performing teams through her strategic clarity, commercial acumen and collaborative leadership style.

Habben said: “I am delighted to join the team at Zedra, continuing the hard work already underway across the people agenda. This is an exciting time for the organisation and I look forward to working closely with our fantastic teams and leaders to achieve our ambitious plans, and deliver for our clients.”

Dean Blackburn, group chief executive officer at Zedra, added: “I am thrilled to welcome Aoife to our leadership team. Her passion for people and deep expertise in building inclusive, high-performing cultures will be instrumental as we continue to support our employees and clients to achieve their ambitions. We know that when our people thrive, our clients succeed, and Aoife will play a key role in driving that vision forward.”
