Helen Keen has been named head of UK private banking by Arbuthnot Latham and Co.
Keen has over 30 years of industry experience in both private and commercial banking, as well as substantial expertise in strategic transformation and credit.
She joins Arbuthnot Latham from Coutts, where she was managing director for over three decades. She has demonstrated success in driving strategic expansion in private banking and wealth management.
Arbuthnot Latham strengthened its client appeal last year by integrating its business areas into client groups such as Entrepreneurs, Executives & Professionals, International, Commercial Banking, Real Estate, and Media (private and commercial).
Keen’s hiring is an important component of that change, building on the solid foundations the company has already established in providing a great client experience.
Keen says: “I am incredibly excited to be joining Arbuthnot Latham at such an important time in its growth journey. This year, the bank celebrates 190 years of service, and I am proud to play my part in that legacy.
