M&G appoints Shawn Gamble as Chief Risk and Compliance Officer

M&G plc is delighted to announce the appointment of Shawn Gamble as Chief Risk and Compliance Officer (CRCO), subject to regulatory approval. She will join the business in 2025 reporting into M&G plc’s CEO Andrea Rossi, and will sit on the Group’s executive committee.

Shawn will join M&G from Hargreaves Lansdown, where she’s currently the Group Chief Risk Officer, where she has led their risk and compliance functions for the last four years. Over her career, Shawn has repeatedly created world class second line of defence functions which have supported growth and embedded a culture of effective risk consideration.

Shawn was previously Chief Risk Officer at Fidelity International, and prior to that held a number of senior leadership positions at Deutsche Bank, Barclays and GE Capital. Having spent the early part of her career focused on credit risk in her native Canada, Shawn has more than two decades of international experience in financial and non-financial risk management and a proven track record for building great teams.

Andrea Rossi, M&G plc CEO said: “I’m delighted to welcome Shawn to M&G. Attracting someone of her calibre is a strong endorsement of M&G as we continue to drive growth and deliver against our strategy. Her proven track record for working effectively within diverse organisations will be invaluable in the evolving international regulatory and risk environment in which M&G operates. We will also be able to draw on Shawn’s experience of both the UK and European financial markets as we pursue our domestic and international growth ambitions.

“I also want to thank Louise Gelling, interim CRCO, under whose stewardship the Risk and Compliance team have continued to deliver.”

Shawn Gamble said: “It’s an important moment for the savings and asset management industry, as international regulatory regimes are being scrutinised to ensure positive customer outcomes, whilst allowing markets the freedom to grow and capitalise on measured risks. I’m excited to be joining M&G at such a pivotal time as it navigates complex risk management to leverage its three core businesses: Life, Wealth and Asset Management and target strong returns for customers and investors.”
