FSC CEO Samantha Barrass noted, ‘I am delighted to welcome Kathryn to the FSC. Her appointment is a further step in delivering the senior strengthening of the FSC I announced earlier this year. We will benefit particularly from her pragmatic and open style in continuing to build and enhance our regulatory approach, so as to be easy to do business with, and effective in identifying and addressing risk to the delivery of reputable financial services’.
