Vida Bank appoints former Kensington CFO to board

Alexander brings over 30 years’ experience in financial services, with senior leadership roles at American Express, Visa, Barclays and Standard Chartered.

“Alexander’s appointment adds further depth and experience to our Board at a pivotal stage in our journey,” said Anth Mooney, CEO at Vida Bank (pictured above).

“His track record in specialist mortgages and financial services will be instrumental as we continue to build scale and deliver on our ambition to become the UK’s most trusted specialist mortgage bank.”

His appointment follows the recent appointment of Stuart Sinclair as chair, succeeding Steve Haggerty after nine years of service.

Stuart’s leadership experience spans senior roles at Tesco Bank, GE Capital and RBS, as well as board positions at Lloyds Banking Group, TSB and LV.

Alexander added: “Vida has already made huge strides as a new bank and has a clear opportunity to play a bigger role in the specialist mortgage market.

“I’m excited to join the board at such an important stage and to contribute to its next phase of growth.”
