Leasing company Alphabet has appointed Leanne Christmas as its new head of compliance.
She joins the firm on a permanent basis, having worked as interim head of compliance since July 2016.
Before that, Christmas led the regulatory compliance and financial services arm of accountancy firm RSM. She also spent eight years at Barclays, finishing as head of conduct risk at the bank.
“This is a growing organisation and the mobility sector is one which is increasing in terms of its scale, remit and complexity. Consumer credit is core to this and the leasing industry is still finding its feet under the new regulatory framework which was introduced only in the past few years,” she said. “Forward-thinking, sustainable businesses realise that treating the customer fairly, doing it well and living up to your responsibilities is a win-win for the customer and the organisation.”
