Chetwood Bank has confirmed the appointment of Rob Pomphrett as its newest non-executive director (NED), bringing a wealth of experience to the Board.
With a career spanning more than three decades in the banking and financial markets industry, Rob has developed deep expertise in trading risk management and has led global teams across a broad range of areas including credit, interest rate products, government bonds, and structured finance.
Rob’s impressive track record includes nearly 20 years at the Royal Bank of Canada, one of the world’s top ten banks, where he held several senior leadership roles, including Global Head of Treasury Services, Head of Global Markets Financial Resource Management, and Head of Principal Finance.
He also held various prior roles at prominent financial institutions in London, New York and Hong Kong, where he was responsible for originating, marketing, trading and structuring debt products.
Now pursuing a portfolio career that combines NED and charitable roles, Rob currently serves as treasurer and board member for both the Campaign to Protect Rural England (CPRE London) and Possible, a leading environmental charity which aims to inspire positive climate action and help create a zero-carbon society in the UK.
Founded in 2016, Chetwood Bank is a UK-based digital challenger bank dedicated to helping people make sense of their money with easy-to-understand savings accounts and mortgages, through its ModaMortgages and CHL Mortgages for Intermediaries brands.
Rob Pomphrett said: “I’m looking forward to using the knowledge and expertise I’ve gained from more than 30 years of working in the financial markets to support Chetwood Bank in its ambition of being recognised as one of the UK’s leading digital challenger banks.
“I’m excited to be looking at new ways to help the firm grow profitably and explore new asset class opportunities in a thoughtful and well considered way, that’s aligned with the firm’s strategic objectives.”
Paul Noble, CEO of Chetwood Bank, added: “We’re delighted to welcome someone of the calibre of Rob to our Board. His deep knowledge of international financial markets will prove invaluable as we embark on our next phase in the evolution of Chetwood Bank.”
