Mo Hersi Appointed Director of Operations
We’re excited to announce that Mo Hersi has been promoted to Director of Operations at Finquest, effective July 1, 2025.
Mo joined Finquest nearly six years ago and has steadily built a reputation as a trusted operator and strategic problem-solver. With early experience in M&A, private equity, and deal origination data and solutions, as well as a background in international development, he brought a global mindset and sharp analytical lens to the business from day one. Over the years, he has taken on key roles across research, operations, and project delivery – each broadening his scope and deepening his understanding of how we deliver value to clients.
In his most recent role as Associate Director, Mo worked closely with Chief Operating Officer Gerard Belicha to oversee day-to-day Client Team operations and lead initiatives focused on resourcing, team enablement, and performance. In his new role, he will continue to drive operational excellence while partnering with Chief Customer Officer Aryanish Kapadia and Gerard on strategic cross-functional projects.
“Mo has been instrumental in strengthening how our Client Teams run and scale,” said Gerard Belicha, COO. “His calm authority, ability to structure complex challenges, and commitment to building high-functioning teams have made him a trusted operational leader across the business. This promotion is a natural next step – and very well deserved.”
“Truly happy for you, Mo!” added Aryanish Kapadia, CCO. “Your innovative thinking has been transformative for research delivery, and now we’re seeing that same impact on operations. Congratulations on a very well-earned promotion.”
Mo brings a unique blend of analytical thinking and people-first leadership to the role – qualities that have consistently shaped the way Finquest operates and grows.
“I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunities I’ve had at Finquest to grow, take on new challenges, and work alongside so many talented people,” said Mo. “To me, operations is about driving innovation – internally across teams and functions, and externally in how we deliver the most efficient and forward-thinking deal sourcing solutions for our clients. I’m excited to keep shaping the structure, tools, and environment that help people do their best work and push the business forward.”
