Soho House Names Neil Thomson CFO Ahead of August Transition

Soho House & Co Inc has appointed Neil Thomson as its new Chief Financial Officer, effective August 18, 2025, succeeding Thomas Allen who will remain until August 29 to ensure a smooth transition. Thomson brings over 30 years of experience in hospitality and finance, with previous leadership roles at Tasty Restaurant Group, Del Frisco's, and Yum! Brands, which is expected to support Soho House's global expansion and profitability efforts. The appointment coincides with Soho House's recent agreement to merge with EH Parent LLC, a deal valued at $9.00 per share that aims to take the company private and delist it from the NYSE. This merger, supported by major financial backers like Apollo and Goldman Sachs, is designed to provide new investments for growth. The market reacted positively to Thomson's appointment, with Soho House shares rising about 15% in pre-market trading. CEO Andrew Carnie expressed confidence in Thomson's combination of operational and financial expertise, viewing it as instrumental for the company's future development.
