Alison Rose (banker)

"“The great thing about a graduate programme is you’ve got to try lots of different things. Most importantly, you learn a huge amount about yourself. Then you figure out what you like and what you’re good at and you evolve.”"

"“My vision is for us to build a strong business, a bank that embraces the future and delivers on its promises. … It is also my vision to build a bank that is purpose‑led, a bank that champions the communities we serve and helps them to thrive. … Our ambition is to be the best bank for families, businesses and communities across the UK."

"“It was all about trying to learn … You develop your own leadership style …”"

"“Don’t sweat the small stuff, it is nothing in the arc of a career. Keep your perspective on things.”"
