Metro Bank has hired Barclays exec Marc Page as its new chief financial officer (CFO), effective 2 September.
In brief:
- Page will take the reins from interim CFO Cristina Alba Ochoa and is to join directly from UK bank Barclays, where he has held a number of senior roles since joining in 2017.
- He most recently served as CFO of non-bank lender Kensington Mortgages, which was acquired by Barclays in 2023, as well as non-executive director of Clydesdale Financial Services, a unit also owned by the bank.
- Metro Bank also announced the same month that it would cut around 800 roles across its organisation – approximately 20% of its workforce – as well as triggering a review of its branch opening hours.
What does this mean?
“Marc brings deep financial expertise and understanding of the banking sector, including a wealth of knowledge and experience across retail banking, distribution and product management,” comments Daniel Frumkin, CEO of Metro Bank.
