Open Banking Implementation Committee (OBIE) Appoints Theresa Casey as General Counsel

The United Kingdom’s Open Banking Implementation Entity (OBIE) has reportedly appointed Theresa Casey as the General Counsel, after the departure of Selene Brett to Yapily.

Casey, who had served as general counsel and company secretary at online retailer N Brown Group, will now be joining OBIE’s senior leadership team.

Charlotte Crosswell, OBIE chair and trustee, stated:

“I am delighted to welcome Theresa as the OBIE’s new general counsel and believe her experience will further strengthen the leadership of the OBIE. This completes the additions to our senior team and will be critical in embedding and driving forward the significant changes we have made to our governance, management, processes, and policies, alongside our workplace practices and culture.”

Casey remarked:

“I am pleased to be joining the OBIE at this time and I am committed to working with the board and CEO, and the rest of the management team to ensure the OBIE of today, and whatever new entity we transition to, remains a culturally progressive, inclusive, organization with strong governance, and is truly fit for the next stage.”

Henk Van Hulle, CEO at OBIE, is one of several other key leadership appointments that the OBIE has made recently, having joined in February as the organization’s first Chief Executive.

He added:

“Completing the appointments to our senior leadership team strengthens the OBIE’s governance as we prepare for our next phase and the imminent CMA decision on the future arrangements for Open Banking.”

Two independent non-executive directors, Barbara Ridpath and Jeremy Newman, were appointed to the OBIE board towards the end of las year, meanwhile, Debbie Lombard had been appointed in January 2022 as the OBIE’s people and HR director.

Recently, Open Banking infrastructure provider Yapily confirmed that Brett, who had serving as the OBIE’s general counsel, would be joining in the position of Chief Legal Officer.
