New faces boost two divisions
Digital bank Tandem has appointed Maria Khan (pictured right) as director of product and digital, and Chris Parker (pictured left) as head of marketing.
Khan, whose career in financial services include roles at J.P. Morgan and the Royal Bank of Scotland, is tasked with leading the development of the bank’s digital offerings, collaborating with the team to enhance green digital banking solutions and overseeing design and marketing departments.
Parker, meanwhile, is expected to bring his marketing experience to his new position at Tandem. Previously, he served as head of retail marketing at Santander, where his accomplishments included winning two Effie Awards, notably for the ‘Bank of Ant and Dec’ campaign in 2023.
Both Khan and Parker are based in Tandem’s London office.
“It’s great to welcome Maria and Chris to the team,” Alex Mollart, chief executive at Tandem Bank, said. “Maria’s expertise in developing digital products will be essential as we continue to update and grow our offering – market leading green initiatives that utilise our leading tech capabilities – to allow customers more choice in living a greener lifestyle.
“And with Chris’ extensive experience in retail banking in particular, I’m excited about the insights Chris brings so that we can share Tandem’s mission and product offering in a bold and impactful way, pushing us on our journey to be the UK’s leading greener digital bank.”
Commenting on her appointment, Khan said she was glad to be joining the bank at such a critical time.
“As customers pivot to caring more and more about where their money is going regarding sustainability and have rising expectations of leading tech and products to help them navigate their financial needs, the opportunity to have an impact and help grow Tandem is exciting,” she added.
“There’s a huge opportunity for the bank, and it’s a privilege to get going and help more and more consumers make the transition to greener choices.”
