Starling Bank has appointed Keith Algie as its new group chief risk officer, subject to regulatory approval.
Algie is set to replace Cyrille Salle De Chou, who has spent the last two years in the role scaling the company’s risk controls.
The outgoing chief risk officer is leaving the company to pursue a portfolio career.
Algie is set to join Starling from ANZ, the Australia-headquartered multinational bank in which he has worked since 2011, starting as a senior risk manager and over the course of more than a decade rising to the position of chief risk officer in Europe, the Americas and Hong Kong.
“I’m delighted to welcome Keith to my leadership team, confident that his broad risk management expertise and international experience will be invaluable to us as we scale the Group in the UK and overseas,” said group chief executive Raman Bhatia.
“I’m sorry to see Cyrille go after his contributions to enhance our risk management capabilities. On behalf of everyone at Starling, I thank him for his achievements and wish him every success in the next phase of his career.”
