Sebastian said:
"I am thrilled to be joining such an experienced team at both management and operational levels. Redwood Bank has a genuine passion for achieving great customer outcomes and I'm excited to become part of the Bank's journey as it continues to develop and grow."
"Working in a challenger bank provides me with the opportunity to influence the direction of the company, without the constraints of legacy systems and set ups. In addition, it also provides a platform in which one can engage in the end-to-end operations."
Sebastian started out as a Financial Services Analyst at Datamonitor, before moving to Citigroup, Accenture, HSBC Global Asset Management, Barclays Retail and Business Bank and Lloyds Bank Global Transaction Banking.
His role is a multi-faceted position that spans Banking Operations, Credit Operations, Information Technology and Project Management.
Gary Wilkinson, CEO and Co-Founder of Redwood Bank, said: "This is a key role as it supports the smooth-running and full operations of Redwood. Sebastian’s job involves ensuring all activities are conducted in a regulatory compliant manner, while also making sure all our customers are well looked after.
"We are impressed by Sebastian’s vast and varied experience and general management approach. There’s no doubt he’s set to become a very welcome addition to the Redwood team, and we welcome him with open arms."
