Chetwood Bank has strengthened its board with the appointment of Rob Pomphrett as a non-executive director, drawing on more than three decades of senior experience in international banking and financial markets.
Pomphrett’s career spans over 30 years, much of it spent at the Royal Bank of Canada, one of the world’s 10 largest banks, where he held several senior roles including global head of treasury services, head of global markets financial resource management and head of principal finance.
His responsibilities included leading global teams across credit, interest rates, government bonds and structured products, with a focus on trading risk.
He has also worked at a number of major financial institutions across London, New York and Hong Kong, where he was involved in originating, marketing, trading and structuring a broad range of debt products.
Now pursuing a portfolio career, Pomphrett (pictured) currently serves as treasurer and board member for both CPRE London, the countryside charity, and Possible, an environmental organisation advocating for grassroots climate solutions.
Welcoming his appointment, Chetwood Bank chief executive Paul Noble said: “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.”
Pomphrett said he was looking forward to supporting the bank’s ambitions and helping it grow in line with its strategic goals.
“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,” he said.
Chetwood Bank, established in 2016, is a UK-based digital challenger offering savings accounts and mortgages via its intermediary-facing brands ModaMortgages and CHL Mortgages.
