CFC continues senior hiring spree by appointing new chief people officer

CFC has strengthened its executive leadership team with the appointment of Debbie Griffin as chief people officer.

Griffin joins from Shawbrook, where she held the same position.

She brings more than 25 years of experience in senior people roles across international financial services, having previously worked at Société Générale, Rabobank, Commerzbank and JP Morgan.

Adam Winslow, group chief executive at CFC, said: “We have ambitious plans for CFC and having the right leadership team in place is critical to delivering them.

“Griffin brings deep experience across people, culture and leadership and I’m delighted to welcome her to CFC.”

Leadership appointments

Griffin’s appointment follows the arrival of Chris Loake as chief information officer and the permanent appointment of Louisa Doswell as chief operations and transformation officer.

Loake joins CFC from Hiscox, where he served as group chief information officer.

Meanwhile, Doswell was most recently chief executive at Pinnacle Pet Group and has previously held several senior positions at RSA, including chief operating officer for its UK and international business.

Referring to all three appointments, Winslow added: “Alongside Doswell and Loake, [Griffin’s] appointment adds real strength to our executive team and gives us the leadership and capability we need as we continue to grow.”
