Today’s guest discusses his tenure as chair of the UK finance regulator the Financial Conduct Authority including his highs and lows in the role, and his advice for those now running the watchdog. He also outlines what unfinished business he had on leaving the FCA, and in doing so explains why “the time is now” for UK policymakers to do more to stamp out financial exclusion in the country.
Charles Randell spent 24 years as partner in the corporate finance practice at law firm Slaughter and May and was the lead external lawyer for the government during the global financial crisis before joining the Bank of England in 2013 as a member of the Prudential Regulation Committee and then becoming chair of the FCA in 2018. He left his post in 2022 and has since worked as a Visiting Fellow in financial services regulation at Queen Mary University of London.
