Change of General Counsel at Winton

Alexandra Openshaw returns to Winton to replace Brigid Rentoul as General Counsel.

After 13 years at the firm, Brigid Rentoul has retired from her role as General Counsel of Winton Group Limited. We are pleased to announce that Alexandra Openshaw has succeeded Brigid, with the transition effective from 16 June 2025.

Brigid joined Winton in 2012 and has played an instrumental role in guiding the firm through a period of significant evolution. Her expertise and sound judgment have left a lasting impact on Winton. While she steps back from her day-to-day responsibilities, we’re delighted that she will remain closely involved with the firm in her continuing role as a director on the Winton boards.

We are equally delighted to welcome Alexandra back to Winton. She returns from a private equity firm, where she has served as General Counsel since 2023. Alexandra is already well known to many at Winton, having previously spent seven years with the firm, including in the role of Deputy General Counsel. Her earlier career began in 2008 at Macfarlanes, where she joined the Investment Management group in 2010.
