(Alliance News) - Ikigai Ventures Ltd on Monday said it has appointed Kane Black as its new chief executive officer following Nicholas Bryan-Brown's departure.

According to Ikigai, Black's most recent stint was as CEO of Inex Innovate, where he still remains as a non-executive director.

"Black will lead Ikigai's initiatives in seeking out acquisition opportunities within the dynamic technology sector of the Asia Pacific region," the company added.

Commenting on his appointment, Bryan-Brown said: "We welcome Kane Black as CEO of Ikigai and believe his extensive experience and Asia-focused network will be invaluable in identifying suitable acquisition opportunities for the company in the region."

Shares in Ikigai were untraded at 45.00 pence each in London on Monday afternoon.
