Alfa, a global supplier of asset and automotive finance software and consultancy services, reappointed Ciarán Hevey to the company as a director.

Having begun his career with Alfa (then known as CHP Consulting), Hevey has spent the last two years with White Clarke Group as associate director and head of pre sales. He returns to the Alfa to focus on its long-term growth agenda, consulting services offering and strategic partnership model.

“I’m delighted to be rejoining the company. When Alfa offered me the opportunity to support them in the next stage of the journey, I couldn’t turn it down,” Hevey said. “Alfa has grown significantly over the years, and has the range and depth of quality service and product offerings that I would expect from the industry’s premier software and service provider. I look forward to bringing some of the wider industry experience I have gained over the years with me, to add to the quality capabilities already on offer – and to support Andrew and the Alfa team.”

Andrew Denton, Alfa’s CEO, said, “Ciarán is a great professional and I’m really pleased to be welcoming him back to the fold. We’re very proud of our staff retention rate at Alfa, as we believe our culture is just as strong as our product. Our people remain our finest asset, and we’re excited to be winning back a key figure from our early days who can help take us forward.”

Hevey learned his trade as a consultant to the asset finance industry, with full software development and implementation lifecycle experience. He moved on to broaden his experience within financial services, working for the likes of Accenture and SAP as a solution architect and transformational change specialist. Hevey returned to the asset finance industry in 2014.
