Royal London has appointed Peter Josse as its new group chief operating officer.
Josse has over 20 years’ experience in the banking industry, and joins from Barclays Bank where he has been chief information officer since 2018. He will report to group CEO Barry O’Dwyer.
O’Dwyer says: “ “To have someone of [Josse’s] calibre and track record joining Royal London demonstrates our ambition. We have delivered a number of significant transformation programmes in recent years, and we are committed to modernising our capabilities further to allow customers and financial advisers to engage with us efficiently and seamlessly.”
Josse adds: “Royal London’s customer-owned status was a big draw. Being able to focus on delivering long-term value solely in the interests of our customers was an exciting prospect.”
The appointment is subject to regulatory approval.
