About Andy Mielczarek

https://chetwoodbank.co.uk/
Andy Mielczarek has broad experience of driving commercial performance across entities and jurisdictions. Prior to Chetwood, he was the deputy head of HSBC’s UK Retail Bank, having previously been Commercial Director and Head of Retail Products for HSBC Europe. Andy has also been the CFO at M&S Bank, Head of Commercial Finance at MBNA, and Brokerage Operations Director at Charles Schwab. After spending the first half of his career working for large Banks and Financial Services businesses, Andy Mielczarek co-founded a new digital bank, Chetwood Financial nearly 10 years ago with a small but perfectly formed team of co-founders. Now the firm has got to a sustainable scale and is ready for the next phase of its growth, he's handing over to a new CEO and taking some time out to think about what to do next. He's passionate about financial inclusion and representing the challenges facing small financial services firms and will continue to chair the FCA's Small Business Practitioner panel as he transitions out of Chetwood. Having got the scar tissue from taking an idea from a spreadsheet to a £bn balance sheet, he's now seeking out opportunities to mentor and support the next generation of founders. Andy Mielczarek holds a 1990 - 1993 Aberystwyth University.
