The Bank of London has appointed Anne Grim as an independent non-executive director (iNED) of its board and as chairperson of the board risk committee. She will also be a member of the board audit committee.
Grim has more than 35 years of industry experience, and currently acts as an iNED at Insight Investment and technology platform Plus500.
She is also the founder and managing director of management consulting firm CXpertin, a role she has held since 2019.
Earlier in her career, Grim was an iNED at firms including Metro Bank and financial advice firm Openwork Partnership, an advisory board member at The Investment Association’s IA Engine board and a trustee of the Fidelity UK Pension Board.
Commenting on her appointments, which are subject to regulatory approval, Grim says: “The Bank of London has established itself in the UK business banking market with a focus on providing safer banking products and services to help companies start, run and grow.”
The Bank of London has been operating in the business-to-business banking market for close to a year, and is currently in the process of acquiring an EU banking license.
Grim continues: “I look forward to working with the board and the executive management team to help guide The Bank of London through the next phase of its journey.”
David Skillen, UK chairperson for The Bank of London, adds: “The depth and breadth of [Anne’s] leadership in large financial services businesses and considerable corporate experience make her a strong addition to our UK Bank Board.”
