New Chief Financial Officer appointed at M&G plc

2022

M&G plc, the international savings and investments business, today announces the appointment of Kathryn McLeland as Chief Financial Officer.

Kathryn joins from Barclays PLC, where she has been Group Treasurer since 2018, with responsibilities that included capital management and strategy, principal equity investments (including sustainable impact and Fin Tech) and investor relations.

Over a career of more than 20 years at Barclays, Kathryn has held a series of senior roles at the bank. Prior to that, Kathryn spent a number of years in investment banking with Merrill Lynch and Salomon Brothers.

Subject to regulatory approval, Kathryn will join M&G plc in May. She will also join the M&G plc Board as an Executive Director.

John Foley, Chief Executive of M&G plc, says: “With almost three decades of international banking and capital markets experience, Kathryn is an outstanding addition to the already strong M&G leadership team. I look forward to working closely with her.”

Kathryn comments: “I am immensely excited to be joining M&G plc at a time when the global transition to sustainable investment practices will create many growth opportunities for the business.”

Until Kathryn joins M&G plc, Paul Cooper will continue as interim CFO.
