Lloyds Bank International has appointed Julie Ronaldson as the new Island Director for Guernsey.
Based in the Guernsey, Julie (pictured) will report into Lloyds Bank International’s Crown Dependencies Director, Adele Bohlen. Julie replaces Mike Jones, who has been appointed Director for Strategy & Performance in the Lloyds Bank International’s private banking team.
Julie has nearly 25 years’ banking experience with Lloyds Bank, having originally joined Bank of Scotland, which is part of Lloyds Banking Group. She has held a number of roles across the bank during her time, including regional oversight manager for Lloyds Bank International, overseeing the credit risk for the Channel Islands and Isle of Man, as well as a number of other senior credit, business development and operational roles. Julie joined Lloyds Bank International in 2017, initially in Jersey, before moving to Guernsey in 2019.
Julie will retain her role as Head of Commercial Banking in Guernsey but will now also be responsible for the community bank branch. Acting as the ‘face of the bank’ on the Island, Julie will have overall responsibility for Lloyds Bank International’s presence in Guernsey, including liaising with government and regulatory bodies in Guernsey.
Adele Bohlen, Crown Dependencies Director, Lloyds Bank International, said: “Julie’s appointment demonstrates the strength of the Bank’s internal talent and is a well-deserved broadening of her responsibilities. Julie has demonstrated a strong commitment to supporting our business customers to fulfil their growth ambitions and I am confident she will bring this clear customer focus to her enlarged role across Guernsey. I’m extremely grateful for Mike’s stewardship in Guernsey and wish him every success in his new role with the bank.”
