Dame Alison Rose (born November 1969), recorded in some official and corporate filings under her married name Rose-Slade, is a British banker. She was group chief executive of NatWest Group (formerly the Royal Bank of Scotland Group) from 1 November 2019 to 26 July 2023, becoming the first woman to lead a major British bank.[1][2] Rose spent more than thirty years at the bank, rising from a 1992 graduate trainee to deputy chief executive of NatWest Holdings and, from 2014, chief executive of the group's commercial and private banking division, before her appointment to the top job.[3][4]

In 2019, at the request of HM Treasury, Rose led an independent review into the barriers facing female entrepreneurs in the United Kingdom, published as the "Rose Review of Female Entrepreneurship".[5] She was appointed Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire in the 2023 New Year Honours for services to the financial sector.[6]

Rose resigned as chief executive of NatWest Group on 26 July 2023, with immediate effect, after admitting what she called a "serious error of judgment" in discussing details of the broadcaster Nigel Farage's banking relationship with Coutts, a NatWest subsidiary, with Simon Jack, the BBC's business editor, at a private dinner.[7][8] An independent review by the law firm Travers Smith, commissioned by NatWest, subsequently found that Rose "played no part" in the underlying commercial decision to close Farage's accounts, and that the closure was "predominantly a commercial decision" reflecting the loss-making nature of the relationship, though it identified "significant shortcomings" in how the bank communicated the decision.[9] The same review found that Rose's disclosures to the BBC "probably amounted to a Personal Data Breach" under data protection law.[9] The Information Commissioner's Office briefly suggested in October 2023 that Rose herself had broken data protection law, then withdrew the finding in November 2023, apologising to Rose and clarifying that its investigation had examined only NatWest Group, not her personally.[10] NatWest said in October 2023 that "no finding of misconduct has been made against Ms Rose by NatWest Group".[9]

Since leaving NatWest, Rose has taken a series of advisory and non-executive roles. She became a senior adviser to the private equity firm Charterhouse Capital Partners in July 2024 and, later that year, an adviser to the law firm Mishcon de Reya on diversity and inclusion; in September 2025 Mishcon de Reya appointed her its independent non-executive chair, and in November 2025 she joined the board of the wealth-management technology group FNZ as chair of its UK board and a member of its group board.[11][12][13]

Early life and education

Rose was born in November 1969 into a military family and spent much of her childhood overseas, moving between postings before her family settled back in England when she was fifteen.[14][15] As a child she considered a career in the diplomatic service before turning to banking.[3] She has described the years growing up abroad and the disruption of the 2008 financial crisis, which struck early in her career, as formative experiences.[15]

Rose read history at St Aidan's College, Durham University, graduating in 1991.[16][14] Durham University awarded her an honorary Doctor of Civil Law degree in October 2021, in recognition of her career and, in particular, her leadership on diversity in financial services and support for small business.[16] In 2023 the University of York conferred an honorary degree on her as part of the ceremony inaugurating its new chancellor, Heather Melville.[17]

Career

NatWest and RBS: early roles, 1992 to 2014

Rose joined National Westminster Bank as a graduate trainee in 1992.[3][15] Following the Royal Bank of Scotland's takeover of NatWest in 2000, she moved through a series of roles in the group's investment bank, including head of leveraged finance for the United Kingdom and Europe, and later head of Europe, Middle East and Africa for markets and international banking and global head of international banking capital and balance sheet, according to the bank's own account of her career in its 2019 annual report.[2] She has said that she helped restructure the investment bank's balance sheet in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis, which she described as "a pretty traumatic period" for the industry and one that reinforced her commitment to "be part of the team that could fix and rebuild RBS".[15] Rose was appointed to RBS's executive committee on 27 February 2014.

Chief executive of commercial and private banking, 2014 to 2019

In April 2014, Rose was appointed to head one of three new divisions created by chief executive Ross McEwan as part of RBS's post-crisis restructuring: commercial and private banking, which by 2016 accounted for close to half of the group's assets.[3] In October 2014, as one of only two women on RBS's eleven-strong executive committee, she said RBS supported "aspirational targets" for the proportion of senior roles held by women, at a time when women held 20 per cent of the bank's executive roles and none of its main board seats.[18] She said at the time: "As a business head it is a business imperative. If I'm not recruiting, retaining or developing the most talented workforce I possibly can, I'm not going to be delivering the best results."[18] Speaking to The Scotsman in April 2016, Rose said she had spent much of her career "gender-blind" before noticing the scarcity of senior women around her: "I was gender-blind for a huge part of my career, and then all of the sudden I looked around and thought 'where have all the women gone?' The frustration is that it is not moving fast enough."[3] She said she opposed formal boardroom quotas as "a blunt tool" but favoured aspirational targets instead, and set a goal, through RBS's Women in Business programme, of raising the number of participating relationship managers from 300 to 500 by the end of 2016; she told a Women in Business conference in Edinburgh that she wanted RBS to be "the bank that women come to because they know we will support them to set up their business".[3]

Through the following years Rose pushed her division, which employed around 9,500 staff, to focus on customer contact; in August 2015 she instructed her senior managers, including her own executive committee, to meet two or three small business customers a week, saying "if you're an executive and you're not spending time with customers, you become completely disconnected from what the business is all about".[19] She put around 3,500 relationship managers through retraining in credit risk and customer-facing skills over the same period.[19] In an April 2016 interview she described overseeing the conversion of RBS's Gogarburn head office executive wing in Edinburgh into a business "accelerator" space run with Entrepreneurial Spark, saying "there was a big symbolic element in knocking down the old executive wing and bringing in the business community".[3]

In April 2018, Rose was appointed a non-executive director of the property company Great Portland Estates plc.[20] The company's chairman, Martin Scicluna, said the board was "delighted to welcome Alison to GPE's Board with her considerable financial and commercial experience".[20] She remained on that board until she stood down in July 2023.

On 21 September 2018, HM Treasury commissioned Rose, then chief executive of RBS's commercial and private banking business, to lead an independent review into the barriers facing women starting and growing businesses in the United Kingdom.[21] Announcing the review, Rose said: "If we want to strengthen the UK's position as one of the best places in the world to start and grow a business, then no-one can be left behind."[21] In November 2018 she was appointed deputy chief executive of NatWest Holdings, the group's ring-fenced retail and commercial bank, while continuing to lead commercial and private banking.

The completed review, published on 8 March 2019 as the "Rose Review of Female Entrepreneurship", found that only one in three UK entrepreneurs was female, that under one per cent of UK venture capital funding went to all-female founding teams, and that the country had around 1.1 million "missing" female-run businesses; it estimated that closing the gap between UK and best-in-class rates of female entrepreneurship could add up to £250 billion to the economy.[22][5] The review identified five main barriers to female entrepreneurship: limited access to capital, perceptions of risk, perceived skills gaps, caregiving responsibilities, and a lack of mentorship and networks.[23] Rose told the BBC that "the disparity that exists between female and male entrepreneurs is unacceptable and holding the UK back" and that "the unrealised potential for the UK economy is enormous".[22] In response, the government adopted a target of increasing the number of female entrepreneurs by half by 2030, equivalent to almost 600,000 additional female-led businesses.[5]

Group chief executive, NatWest Group, 2019 to 2023

On 20 September 2019, RBS announced that Rose, "widely tipped" for the role, would succeed Ross McEwan as group chief executive with effect from 1 November 2019, becoming the first woman to lead one of the UK's major banks.[1] RBS chairman Howard Davies said: "Following a rigorous internal and external process, I am confident that we have appointed the best person for the job."[1] Rose was given a fixed base salary of £1.1 million a year plus a fixed share allowance set at 100 per cent of salary, slightly above the £1 million base salary of her predecessor, and a pension contribution of 10 per cent of salary, in line with the rest of the workforce, compared with McEwan's £350,000-a-year pension allowance.[1] Her appointment meant that RBS's two most senior executive roles, chief executive and chief financial officer, were both held by women, Rose and Katie Murray.[1] The bank's 2019 annual report recorded her total remuneration for the roughly two months she served as chief executive that year at £1.401 million, comprising £394,000 in fixed pay and pension and £1.007 million in a long-term incentive award.[2]

On her first day in the role, Rose set out a strategy built around a stated purpose of "championing potential", telling colleagues, in the bank's own account, that "our colleagues will live and breathe our new Purpose, which is why the conversation had to start with them".[2] RBS Group plc was renamed NatWest Group plc in 2020.[2]

In October 2021, Rose returned to Durham University to receive an honorary degree and to speak, ahead of the COP26 climate summit in Glasgow, at a guest lecture on "Entrepreneurship and the Green Economy" hosted by Durham University Business School; NatWest Group was a principal partner of COP26.[16]

In February 2023, Rose was appointed co-chair, alongside the minister Lord Callanan, of the UK government's Energy Efficiency Taskforce, a body intended to help cut national energy consumption by 15 per cent from 2021 levels by 2030.[24] She said: "Addressing the climate crisis is a team sport, and building vital partnerships between the public and private sector is the key to tackling this challenge at pace."[24] She stood down from the taskforce in July 2023 at the request of the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, in the wake of her resignation as NatWest chief executive.[8]

In July 2023, shortly before her resignation, Rose was named one of fourteen business leaders, alongside the chief executives of AstraZeneca, BAE Systems, Shell, Barclays and others, to sit on the Prime Minister's Business Council, a forum convened by Rishi Sunak to discuss investment, innovation and economic growth.[25] Downing Street confirmed after her resignation that she was no longer a member of the council.[8]

Rose resigned as group chief executive of NatWest Group on 26 July 2023, less than 24 hours after publicly admitting she had spoken to the BBC's Simon Jack about Nigel Farage's banking arrangements with Coutts (see Controversies below).[8][26] NatWest chairman Howard Davies described her departure as "a sad moment", saying she had "dedicated all her working life so far to NatWest" and would "leave many colleagues who respect and admire her".[26] Paul Thwaite, who had led NatWest's commercial and institutional bank, was appointed interim chief executive while the board searched for a permanent successor.[26]

After NatWest, 2023 to present

Rose's Companies House record shows she resigned her directorships of NatWest Group plc, NatWest Holdings Limited, The Royal Bank of Scotland plc and National Westminster Bank plc on 25 July 2023, and of Ulster Bank Limited on 27 April 2023. In July 2024, Rose was appointed a senior adviser to the private equity firm Charterhouse Capital Partners.[27] In September 2024, she became a diversity and inclusion adviser to the law firm Mishcon de Reya, mentoring partners and working with its equality, diversity and inclusion committee.[11] Mishcon partner and chief people officer Vanessa Dewhurst said: "Advisers of Alison's calibre and leadership are rare and we couldn't be happier that we will enjoy the benefit of her expertise."[11] On 19 September 2025, Mishcon de Reya announced Rose's appointment as its independent non-executive chair, with a mandate to help direct the firm's growth strategy across its key sectors and international markets.[12]

On 18 November 2025, the wealth-management platform group FNZ announced Rose's appointment as chair of its UK board and as a member of the FNZ Group board.[13] Rose said: "FNZ's mission to open up wealth and enable more people to invest in their future on their own terms is one I strongly believe in."[13] FNZ Group chief executive Blythe Masters said: "Her insight and experience will be highly valuable as we strengthen our business globally."[13] As of the appointment, Rose was described as senior partner at Charterhouse Capital Partners and non-executive chair of Mishcon de Reya.[13][27]

Leadership and management style

Rose's tenure leading RBS's commercial and private banking division was marked by an emphasis on direct customer contact by senior staff. She required her own executive committee, and other senior managers, to personally hold customer relationships and to meet small business owners regularly, telling the Telegraph in 2015 that the aim was to stop executives "forgetting what they were there for", as she said had happened before the 2008 crisis: "I make all of my executive committee and myself own customer relationships, because it is important to stay connected with businesses."[19] She described herself as approachable rather than remote from frontline staff and customers, saying "I'm quite ordinary" and pointing to her habit of sitting with her team rather than in the executive suite at RBS's Gogarburn headquarters.[3]

As group chief executive, Rose framed her leadership around a stated corporate "purpose", telling staff on her first day that the bank would be run on the principle that "if our customers do well, if our economy does well and if our communities do well, then we all succeed together", according to the bank's own account of the period.[4] She made diversity and inclusion a personal priority throughout her career, setting targets in 2014 for 30 per cent female representation across RBS's top four leadership layers, a target the bank said it reached, at 44 per cent, by 2016, and later a 50/50 gender target for future leadership pipelines; she also developed a "Come Back" programme to support women returning to work after career breaks.[23] As chief executive she described herself as "executive sponsor for NatWest Group's employee-led networks" and said the bank's inclusion strategy was "integral to our purpose of championing the potential of people, families and businesses".[14] Under her leadership NatWest introduced measures including allowing staff to identify as different genders on different days and offering double-sided lanyards for non-binary staff, and it funded privately provided hormone treatment for transgender staff, according to the Telegraph; the bank was also a member of the campaign group Stonewall's Diversity Champions scheme during this period.[14]

Major deals and strategic decisions

In March 2019, while she was still deputy chief executive of NatWest Holdings, the bank launched "Back Her Business", a female-only crowdfunding programme that the bank described as forming part of, alongside the Rose Review, its wider effort to reduce the entrepreneurial gender gap; that year its Entrepreneur Accelerator hubs supported around 13,000 entrepreneurs across the UK.[2] In November 2019, shortly after Rose became chief executive, the bank issued what it said was the first social bond by a UK financial institution, linked to existing lending to small and medium-sized businesses in areas of high unemployment and low job creation.[2]

As group chief executive, Rose set out climate policy as "a central pillar" of NatWest Group's strategy within months of taking office, saying that "tackling the climate emergency is one of, if not the biggest issue of our time, and banks have a massive role to play in mobilising the power of finance to meet the net zero ambition."[14] On the day of that speech the bank ended new lending for oil and gas extraction projects.[14] NatWest Group's 2022 annual report describes, as strategic priorities pursued under her leadership, a "phased withdrawal" from the Republic of Ireland, including the wind-down of Ulster Bank's retail and commercial banking business there, a refocusing of the NatWest Markets investment banking arm, and the creation of a combined "Commercial & Institutional" franchise bringing together the bank's corporate and markets businesses.[4] The government also continued reducing its stake in the bank during her tenure: in March 2021 the company bought back 590,730,325 ordinary shares from HM Treasury for £1,125,341,269, or 4.86 per cent of its issued share capital, and made a further off-market purchase of shares from the Treasury in March 2022.[4]

Financial and market performance

NatWest Group's 2019 annual report, covering the year in which Rose took over as chief executive, recorded total income up £851 million, or 6.3 per cent, on the previous year, a return on tangible equity of 9.4 per cent, and a maintained common equity tier 1 capital ratio of 16.2 per cent after £2.7 billion of shareholder distributions.[2] By the 2022 financial year, the last full year of Rose's tenure, the group reported total income of £13,156 million, up 26.1 per cent on 2021's £10,429 million, and operating profit before tax of £5,132 million, up 33.5 per cent on the prior year's £3,844 million, while total group assets fell 8 per cent over the year to £720,053 million as the balance sheet was reduced.[4] The 2022 report attributed part of the rise in operating expenses that year to pay awards intended to help staff with cost-of-living pressures, offset in part by a 4.1 per cent reduction in headcount driven by continued digitisation and automation of customer processes.[4] The Telegraph reported that Rose's total pay for 2022 was £5.25 million, the first year in which she received a full annual bonus since the bank's taxpayer bailout during the 2008 financial crisis.[14]

Following her resignation, NatWest's remuneration committee determined in November 2023 that Rose would not be treated as a "good leaver" under the bank's pay policy. She retained £2.4 million in fixed pay and benefits for her final twelve months in the role, plus around £800,000 in previously awarded bonus shares due to vest in March 2024, but the bank withheld a further £7.6 million in discretionary bonus and long-term share awards that she would otherwise have been eligible for.[28] NatWest stressed that the reduced award reflected the "good leaver" assessment rather than any finding of wrongdoing, reiterating that "no finding of misconduct has been made against Ms Rose".[28][9] The prospective size of her overall exit package, described by the Guardian as a "potential £10m pay package" made up of salary, bonuses and unvested shares, had itself become a point of public and political controversy in the months after her resignation.[10]

Board memberships and outside roles

Rose was a non-executive director of Great Portland Estates plc from April 2018 to July 2023.[20] During her time as a bank executive she also chaired the McLaren/Deloitte Advisory Council and sat on the board of the Coutts Charitable Foundation.[2] She has been a trustee of the charity Business in the Community since February 2020, having previously chaired its Scotland Leadership Board, and became the organisation's vice chair in December 2022.[29] She has also served on the board of directors of the Institute of International Finance and as a member of the International Business Council of the World Economic Forum, and was a founding member of the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero (GFANZ).[27]

Since leaving NatWest, Rose has built a portfolio of advisory and governance roles: senior partner at Charterhouse Capital Partners from July 2024; adviser, and from September 2025 independent non-executive chair, of the law firm Mishcon de Reya; and, from November 2025, chair of the UK board and a member of the group board of the wealth-management technology company FNZ.[27][11][12][13]

Controversies

The defining controversy of Rose's career was the closure, in the summer of 2023, of the private bank accounts held with Coutts, a NatWest subsidiary, by the broadcaster and politician Nigel Farage, and the circumstances of her own resignation that followed.

The exit decision itself was made at a meeting of Coutts' Wealth Reputational Risk Committee in November 2022.[9] An independent review of the episode, commissioned by NatWest from the law firm Travers Smith, found that the decision to close Farage's accounts was lawful and consistent with the bank's own policies, and that "on balance, the exit decision was predominantly a commercial decision" reflecting the fact that Coutts regarded the relationship as commercially unviable; the review also found that Rose "played no part" in that decision.[9] The review nonetheless identified "significant shortcomings" in the bank's conduct, including that NatWest had failed to give Farage adequate reasons for the closure, in breach of its own policies on closing accounts for reasons unrelated to financial crime, and that the tone of internal Coutts documents suggested the bank was concerned about Farage's alleged "xenophobic, chauvinistic and racist views", according to the Guardian's account of the review's findings.[10] The review further found that a May 2022 decision to classify Farage as a "Politically Exposed Person" for enhanced monitoring purposes had been incorrect.[9]

Separately, the review examined Rose's own conduct after the closure became public. It found that, on the evening of 3 to 4 July 2023, while seated next to the BBC's business editor Simon Jack at a fundraising dinner in London for BBC Media Action, Rose discussed Farage's banking relationship with Coutts with him; the next day, Jack reported that Farage's accounts had been closed for commercial rather than political reasons, a claim Farage disputed after subsequently obtaining internal Coutts documents through a subject access request.[7][9] The Travers Smith review concluded that Rose's disclosures "probably amounted to a Personal Data Breach" under UK data protection law, though it also found that no detailed financial information about Farage's accounts had been disclosed and that Rose had not seen his subject access request material before speaking to Jack.[9] Rose subsequently said publicly that discussing the case with a journalist had been "a serious error of judgment", and separately stated: "It is absolutely not our policy to exit a customer on the basis of legally held political and personal views."[26]

Rose resigned as chief executive on 26 July 2023, effective immediately, hours after Downing Street said it had "significant concerns" about her remaining in post; NatWest chairman Howard Davies had expressed confidence in her only shortly before the resignation was announced.[14][26] Farage said after her departure that "the whole board needs to go", criticising Davies for having continued to back Rose even after her role in the leak to the BBC became known.[8] The Information Commissioner's Office wrote to UK banks in the wake of the affair to remind them of their data protection obligations, with Information Commissioner John Edwards saying "banks should not be holding inaccurate information, they should not be using information in a way that is unduly unexpected, and they should not be holding any more information than is necessary."[8] The ICO itself was drawn into controversy in October and November 2023, when it initially suggested in a ruling that Rose personally had breached data protection law, then withdrew the suggestion two weeks later, apologising to Rose and stating: "We accept that it would have been appropriate in the specific circumstances for us to have given Ms Rose an opportunity to comment on any findings in relation to her role and regret not doing so."[10] NatWest said in October 2023 that its own review had found "no finding of misconduct" against Rose, and treasury minister Andrew Griffith convened a summit of nineteen bank chief executives in the wake of the affair to discuss protections against accounts being closed over customers' political views, at which industry attendees "acknowledged that recent events had impacted upon public trust for the whole sector".[9][8]

In November 2023, NatWest's board determined that Rose would not be treated as a "good leaver" for pay purposes and withheld around £7.6 million of discretionary bonus and share awards she would otherwise have been due, while confirming she would keep £2.4 million in fixed pay and benefits and roughly £800,000 in previously vested bonus shares.[28] As part of the fallout from the affair, Rose also stepped down in July 2023 from her positions on the government's Energy Efficiency Taskforce and the Prime Minister's Business Council, at the request of ministers and Downing Street respectively.[8]

Personal life

Rose is married to David Slade, a banker who has worked at UBS; the couple have two children, a daughter and a son, who in a 2017 interview she described as then aged thirteen and eight.[15] The family lives in Highgate, north London.[15] Rose has spoken of relying on her husband, her mother and a nanny to manage the demands of a senior banking career alongside raising children, saying: "the best advice is to have lots of back-up and support."[15]

Philanthropy

Rose has been a trustee of the charity Business in the Community since February 2020 and its vice chair since December 2022, having previously chaired the organisation's Scotland Leadership Board.[29] During her time at NatWest she sat on the board of the Coutts Charitable Foundation.[2] She also chaired the McLaren/Deloitte Advisory Council, an initiative pairing the Formula One team with Deloitte to support small business growth.[2]

Recognition

  • 2021: Honorary Doctor of Civil Law, Durham University.[16]
  • 2023 New Year Honours: appointed Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire, for services to the financial sector.[6] On receiving the honour, Rose said it was "a reflection of the fantastic work of all my colleagues at NatWest Group".[6]
  • 2023: Honorary degree, University of York, conferred as part of the ceremony inaugurating chancellor Heather Melville.[17]
