Barclays Bank UK PLC appoints two new non-executive directors to its Board

Barclays Bank UK PLC has announced two new non-executive appointments, strengthening its Board.

Joining as independent non-executive directors, Tracy Corrigan has joined this week while Vanessa Bailey will commence her role in June.

Crawford Gillies, Chair of Barclays Bank UK PLC said: “These appointments further strengthen and diversify our UK Board as we oversee the sustainability and growth of the Barclays UK business model. Tracy and Vanessa bring significant insight and expertise across a broad range of industries including digital technology and risk. They will greatly assist Barclays UK’s strategic transformation and our drive to support customers with banking services in new and innovative ways through technology and digital innovation.”

She is a risk specialist with a career in financial services spanning over 35 years, heavily focused on transformation within the risk and banking landscape. Her most recent role was as Chief Risk Officer of NatWest Holdings, NatWest’s ring-fenced bank. Vanessa serves as a non-executive director on the boards of Wells Fargo Securities International Limited and Pleo Holding ApS and has served as a trustee for the M.E. Trust.
