Moneyhub’s CEO Samantha Seaton is to step down
In a company statement, Moneyhub announced that Anne de Kerckhove, who joined as chair of the board earlier this year, will step in as interim executive chair while the firm searches for a new CEO.
During her tenure, de Kerckhove credits Seaton with securing $70 million in funding, and “establishing a robust platform”, as well as “pioneering advancements in AI-driven financial data categorisation” and “initiatives like pensions dashboards”.
The $70 million funding includes the £35 million ($44 million) raised from Legal & General and Lloyds Banking Group in 2022, along with an additional £5 million ($6.4 million) debt facility from Shawbrook Bank secured in the same round.
Prior to joining Moneyhub, Seaton served as CEO of digital financial planning provider EV and spent 15 years at global advisory firm WTW.
When commenting on the news, Seaton did not specify her exact plans for the future but expressed, “I’m genuinely excited about the opportunities that lie ahead”.
Moneyhub, which provides a variety of pensions, savings, investment, and banking engagement solutions, along with open banking-powered payment services, has not disclosed a timeline for Seaton’s departure or the appointment of her successor.
