Coventry Building Society appoints chief risk officer

Coventry Building Society has announced the appointment of Richard Bowles as its chief risk officer.

Bowles, who will join the building society later this year, has extensive risk and commercial experience from his time at TSB and his 15 years at Lloyds Bank, where he became prudential risk and risk transformation director.

“Richard not only has deep technical knowledge, but is passionate about innovation and transformation,” Steve Hughes, chief executive at Coventry Building Society, said.  

“It’s really important to me that we appoint people who share our ambition but also our value set, especially in key leadership roles, and Rich has a great track record in building positive and high performing teams. I am really excited about him joining the society and the executive team.”
