She continued to lead our risk and compliance function and support our executive team to hire a successor.”

Regarding the new CRO Iain Laing, Anil added: “Iain has over 20 years’ experience managing risk at some of the UK’s most established retail banks and lenders, and today we’re fortunate to welcome him as our CRO (subject to regulatory approval). The range of his experience and depth of his expertise will be crucial as we continue to build out our business.”
