Early life and education

Anton Colella was raised in Shettleston in a single parent family.[1] He graduated from the University of Stirling.[3][1][4][5]

Teaching career

Colella spent the first 18 years of his career as a Catholic theology teacher.[3][1][4][5] He served as deputy headmaster at St Margaret Mary's Secondary School in Glasgow from 2000 to 2003.[5]

Business career

In 2003, Colella became the chief executive of the

Scottish Qualification Authority (SQA).[4][5] In October 2006, he became the chief executive of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland (ICAS).[4] This appointment was made despite the fact that Colella did not possess an MBA degree,[1] nor any obvious qualifications apart from his work in Catholic education.[5]

Colella oversaw a globalization phase of ICAS, such that, by 2015, he claimed that their overseas membership had grown by 60 per cent in the previous decade.[6] During this period, Colella also advocated for the simplification of the UK tax code, which he complained of being "12 times the length of the Bible".[7] Colella departed the ICAS in March 2018.[8] At his resignation, the ICAS president Brian Souter said, "Over the past decade, Anton has been the architect of a transformed ICAS".[9]

Colella became the CEO of Moore Global in March 2018.[8] Colella oversaw the rebranding of the company from Moore Stephens to Moore Global. Colella defended the rebranding as meeting "a world defined by global decision-making, data-driven insight and the need for agility."[10]

Affiliations

In 2011, Colella became a chair of the Global Accounting Alliance.[4]

Colella serves on the International Executive Council of the Sword of the Spirit, an association of Christian communities belonging to the charismatic movement.[11]
