DELIVEROO has poached Moneysupermarket.com's chief financial officer (CFO) for the same role at the food delivery firm.

The London-listed platform announced yesterday that Scilla Grimble will join the company as CFO and board director by no later than June 2023.

Current CFO Adam Miller will initially be replaced by Deliveroo's vice president for investor relations

David Hancock from 17 September. Hancock will also continue his current role and will not join the board of directors.

Grimble has been CFO at Moneysupermarket since 2019 and has previously held the job of interim CFO at Marks & Spencer.

She has also worked at Tesco in a selection of top finance and leadership roles, after a decade at UBS as managing director and head of consumer and retail investment banking for EMEA.

Claudia Arney, chair of Deliveroo, said Grimble's "highly relevant skills and experience will help us to take advantage of the significant opportunities before us and will be invaluable as we continue to build our business".

Grimble will receive a base salary of £500,000, with room for a discretionary annual bonus up to £900,000 and a discretionary annual incentive award of up to £2.5m.

Deliveroo shares closed down around two per cent yesterday.
