Janet Pope is to join the Yorkshire Building Society Board as Non-Executive Director later this month.
With more than 30 years’ experience in financial services, she currently sits on the Board of the debt charity StepChange and is Chair of the Charities Aid Foundation Bank.
She recently retired from Lloyds Banking Group, where she was Chief of Staff and Chief Sustainability Officer. In that role she had a particular focus on sustainability, responsible business, inclusion and diversity. Prior roles at Lloyds include Savings Director and Investment and Protection Director.
She has previously been CEO at Alliance Trust Savings, Executive Vice President, Global Strategy at Visa International and Head of Retail Banking Africa at Standard Chartered.
She said: “I’m looking forward to joining the Board at Yorkshire Building Society, an organisation which has a strong social purpose and is committed to delivering long-term value for its members and communities.
“I intend to use my experience to support the Society as it grows and continues to help people find a place to call home and deliver value for savers.”
Annemarie Durbin, chair of Yorkshire Building Society, said: “Janet has considerable experience in financial services, both in executive and non-executive positions. She has held Board positions on a range of public, private and charity organisations and the Society and our members will benefit from the insight she brings.”
