Chris Hill, chief executive of financial services firm Hargreaves Lansdown (HL), is confident his vision for the business will transform the way people manage their money.
The boss of the Bristol-founded investment company says his purpose is to “empower people” to save and invest with confidence - no mean feat given the current macroeconomic climate.
The 51-year-old, who was formerly chief financial officer of Travelex, has arguably not had an easy ride since taking over the helm of HL in 2017. Aside from managing the FTSE-100 company through the pandemic, current political turmoil and pressures on the economy caused by the ground-war in Europe - including the energy crisis in the UK - has caused investor confidence to plummet in 2022.
