Leanne Christmas has joined the Alphabet UK executive team as its new head of compliance.

Leanne Christmas, head of compliance, Alphabet UK.

Christmas has already covered the role on an interim basis following the departure of Vanessa Onyemem in July 2016.

Prior to joining Alphabet, she was associate director, leading the regulatory compliance and financial services team at professional services specialists, RSM. 

Christmas commented: “This is a growing organisation and the mobility sector is one which is increasing in terms of its scale, remit and complexity. Consumer credit is core to this and the leasing industry is still finding its feet under the new regulatory framework which was introduced only in the past few years.

“Forward-thinking, sustainable businesses realise that treating the customer fairly, doing it well and living up to your responsibilities is a win-win for the customer and the organisation.”
