The former CFO of ASX-listed law firm Slater & Gordon first joined PEXA back in October 2021 as the firm’s chief data and analytics officer before taking on the role of chief growth officer.

Mr Butterworth brings more than 25 years of corporate experience into the elevated role, having worked with the likes of Boston Consulting Group, National Australia Bank Group, Westpac, and Clydesdale Bank, where PEXA noted he served as both CFO and chief data officer.

He was also noted as sponsoring “a range of digital and data-driven growth and value-creation initiatives” at Slater & Gordon.

According to group CEO and managing director Glenn King, Mr Butterworth has “a demonstrated track record of delivery”.

“In just over 12 months, Scott has established himself as a trusted leader, deploying his broad knowledge base to generate continued growth in enterprise value,” he espoused.

“Whilst we continue to nurture and protect the foundations of the exchange, we are focused on our growth plans to harness and capture key new business markets. Scott will play a significant role in our growth story,” he revealed in a statement to the ASX outlining the change, which has come about due to the decision of outgoing CFO Richard Moore to depart the business, which was announced back in April.

The group CEO said Mr Butterworth’s appointment “also reflects our strategic executive succession planning framework which informed Scott’s initial appointment to accelerate growth initiatives in both domestic and international markets”.
