Brian Mason
Chief Information Officer
Focus
As CIO at Hg, Brian is passionate about using technology to unlock real business value. He works with teams across the firm to spot opportunities where the right tech can drive growth, spark innovation, and create lasting impact.
Experience
Brian has taken an unconventional path to tech leadership—starting as a Coldstream Guard in the British Army, then spending over two decades in financial services and asset management. He has held senior technology roles at UBS, RBS, Barclays, Deutsche Bank, and HSBC, before moving into private markets at Schroders and BC Partners as CTO.
Opportunities for the Future
"Technology is no longer a support function—it's a value driver that's become central to how successful businesses create value. At Hg, we have an incredible opportunity to weave AI and digital thinking into everything we do. That's the kind of challenge that gets me up in the morning."
