LONDON – Metro Bank announced today the resignation of its Chief Financial Officer (CFO) James Hopkinson, who will be stepping down from his role with a transition period set within the first quarter of 2024. Cristina Alba Ochoa has been named as the interim CFO and is scheduled to take over the position effective January 15.
CEO Daniel Frumkin acknowledged Hopkinson’s significant contributions to the bank, which have been vital during an important phase of the bank’s development. As Hopkinson assists with the transition before his final departure, the bank has commenced the search for a new permanent CFO. Meanwhile, the board will maintain its current composition of seven members.
The appointment of Alba Ochoa comes at a critical time for Metro Bank as they navigate through this change in their financial leadership. The bank’s announcement did not specify the reasons for Hopkinson’s resignation or his future plans.
