British insurer Legal & General has hired Banco Santander’s Ant贸nio 厂颈尘玫别蝉 as its new CEO, it said on Thursday, replacing Nigel Wilson.
厂颈尘玫别蝉, who has been regional head of Europe for Santander since September 2020, will take up his position on Jan. 1 next year, subject to regulatory approval, L&G said in a statement.
Wilson announced his retirement earlier this year after more than a decade in the job, during which the company’s profit and share price has more than doubled.
In his current role, 厂颈尘玫别蝉 leads Santander’s retail and commercial banking, corporate and investment banking, wealth management and insurance businesses in the UK, Spain, Portugal and Poland.
Before joining Santander, he spent 13 years at HSBC and has also worked for consultants McKinsey.
“Antonio brings a formidable leadership track record at the most senior level of financial services, working across complex, global organizations,” said L&G Chair John Kingman in the company’s statement.
Simoes will receive a basic salary of 1.175 million pounds ($1.49 million) a year, L&G said.
“This is a critical time for our industry, clients and customers, with emerging technologies, changing societal dynamics and wider economic forces presenting new challenges and opportunities that require all of us to adapt and evolve,” 厂颈尘玫别蝉 said in the statement.
