Mr. Self, formerly the CEO of Curtis Banks Group PLC and Suffolk Life, will lead the development and execution of MAC II’s overall company strategy.

With an impressive track record in the financial industry, including leadership roles at major institutions, Mr. Self brings extensive expertise to his new position.
