Governance

Board of Directors

Members
Albert Ganyushin Chair Independent Non-Executive Director
Ian Patrick Halliday-Pegg Chief Executive Officer
David Peter Blunt Independent Non-Executive Director
Vineeta Manchanda-Singh Independent Non-Executive Director
Alessandro Zamboni Founder, Non-Executive Director

The Directors recognise the importance of, and is committed to, high standards of corporate governance. While RTOP is not under an obligation to adopt a governance code on a ‘comply or explain’ basis given its Standard Listing, the Directors have opted to voluntarily adopt and comply with the Corporate Governance Code (2018 edition) published by the Quoted Companies Alliance (QCA Code) (so far as it is practicable to do so). In doing so, RTOP follows a corporate governance framework, which the Directors believe is proportionate to the risks inherent to the size and complexity of RTOP’s operations. Further details of this framework are set out below.
