Richard Kibble has been appointed Group Director of Strategy and Corporate Finance at RBS.

He will move in March from PWC where he has been a Partner leading the firm’s Financial Services Corporate Strategy practice since he joined in 2008. He was previously UK Managing Partner at Marakon Associates, where he worked for 18 years.

Kibble will play a major part in the turnaround at RBS as its Chief Executive, Stephen Hester, continues with the plan to dramatically shrink the bank.
