Foco appoints Amy Rowe as partner

Brighton-based consultancy Foco has recruited Amy Rowe as its third partner, to lead the firm’s content proposition, build its fintech unit and nurture the business’ own talent, writes Mario Cipriano.

Rowe worked with Foco’s Michael Taggart for two years at financial PR firm MRM. Taggart left MRM in June to co-found Foco.

Rowe also co-founded finance blog Mouthy Money with Taggart in 2016. Previously, she managed Citywire’s social media and website.

“Amy is a visionary when it comes to content that inspires change,” said Taggart. “Knowing, as I do, her tremendous energy, her instinct for leadership and the joy she takes in seeing great people do great work, I feel good about Foco’s future.”

Rowe added: “This feels like the sort of opportunity that you don’t pass up. The goals Michael and John have for Foco – to create a talented community of happy and accomplished professionals working with businesses that want to make people’s lives better – align perfectly with mine.”
