Guinness PLC’s finance director has resigned.

The Anglo-Irish brewing company announced the resignation of Olivier Roux, three days after the company’s chairman stepped down in connection with a government inquiry investigating the firm’s takeover last year of Scotch whisky maker Distillers. Roux, a 36-year-old Frenchman on assignment to the company from U.S. management consultants Bain & Co., resigned after meeting British government officials involved in the inquiry.
