Tracey Davidson (pictured) has taken over as CEO of UK private bank Hampden & Co.
She replaces Graeme Hartop, who stepped down from the role after 11 years.
Davidson was formerly deputy CEO of Handelsbanken UK and Chair of Handelsbanken Wealth & Asset Management, having joined Handelsbanken from Barclays in 2003 to expand the Swedish bank’s UK operations.
She is a board member at the Personal Investment Management & Financial Advice Association (PIMFA) and chair of the Integrity and Ethics Committee at the Chartered Institute for Securities & Investment (CISI).
Davidson said: “In 2015, Hampden & Co launched as the first new UK private bank in 30 years. Since then, it has garnered a strong reputation for excellent client service and tailored products.
“I see the potential for strong growth as UK customers increasingly seek a more personalised banking service from a bank that understands their needs.
“I am excited to join Hampden & Co and I look forward to leading the team to further success in the years ahead.”
