Barclays Bank has recruited Megan Caywood, chief platform officer at challenger bank Starling, as its head of consumer strategy.
The High Street bank confirmed that Caywood, who has played a leading role in the roll out of Starling’s mobile-only platform and third party partnerships marketplace, will be joining in the new year.
During her two and a half years at Starling, Caywood has been a regular speaker at industry events and often deputised for chief executive Anne Boden as the public voice of the challenger bank.
A Silicon Valley import, Caywood previously worked as global product manager at cloud accountancy firm Xero and as product manager at US FinTech Intuit. She is currently reported to be on gardening leave until her start at Barclays after handing in her notice two weeks ago.
Caywood took to Twitter to confirm the move to Barclays, in a post that read: “I am truly proud of all we have accomplished at Starling Bank but I am super excited to be joining Barclays in the new year.”
Boden also tweeted her congratulations, saying: "Great to see a senior woman taking a big job at Barclays - very best wishes.”
A Barclays spokesperson added: “Megan brings significant talent and expertise, and we look forward to welcoming her to the bank.”
