Group Executive Committee Appointment
Barclays has appointed Sasha Wiggins to a newly created role as
Group Head of Public Policy and Corporate Responsibility. Ms
Wiggins will join the Executive Committee of Barclays, and report
directly to the Group Chief Executive, Jes Staley.
In this important new role, Ms Wiggins will be responsible for
leading Barclays' efforts in tackling climate change, and for
integrating our ambition and commitments to help accelerate the
transition to a low-carbon economy into the business - driving the
evolution and operational implementation of the Group's extensive
new Climate Policy, which was supported overwhelmingly by
shareholders at the company's AGM on 7 May.
She will also have accountability for the Group's sustainability
and citizenship agendas, and for ensuring the company's societal
purpose is present in strategic decision-making at the highest
levels in the organisation. This will enable us to deliver the best
of Barclays in an effective and collaborative way for the benefit
of our people, our shareholders, and the communities in which we
operate, as well as for society more broadly. Ms Wiggins will also
assume overall responsibility for Corporate Relations and
Regulatory Relations.
Ms Wiggins joined Barclays in 2002, progressing through a number
of roles in corporate and private banking, and was the CEO of
Barclays Bank Ireland, and subsequently Head of East and South East
for UK Corporate Banking coverage. She is currently Group Chief of
Staff, a role she has held since 2018.
Commenting on the appointment, Group Chief Executive Jes Staley
said:
"Barclays' role in, and engagement with society is critically
important to the success and sustainability of the company, and
accountability for that agenda should be fully represented at the
Executive Management level of the bank. Sasha's broad banking
knowledge and, most importantly, her ability to build strong
relationships of trust, and engage effectively with diverse
stakeholders, make her the ideal candidate for this critically
important role."
