Squirrel further bolsters leadership team to support growth

Squirrel has made two new appointments to its senior leadership team. Lauren De Witt has joined in the newly-recalibrated role of Chief Operating Officer, while Sam Bell has stepped into the position of Head of Legal, Risk & Compliance. As part of the changes, former COO Dave Tyrer has transitioned into the new role of Group Head of Asset Management.

Squirrel CEO David Cunningham says the changes are all about setting the business up to scale well, and scale smart.

"We're a complex business with ambitious plans. As we continue to scale, we want to make sure we've got the best structure—and expertise around the table—to support that growth, and wider team, in a sustainable way.

"Within the new COO role, De Witt will be responsible for overseeing our People, Risk & Operations. De Witt and Bell bring a huge depth of experience in their respective fields, which will be critical as we build for the future."
