Hargreaves Lansdown appoints new chief people officer

Hargreaves Lansdown has appointed Lisa Hillier as its new chief people officer as of this year.

Hillier has joined the executive leadership team and will lead the organisation’s people and culture strategy.

She has experience in building high-performing cultures, engaging employees and leading organisations through transformation and growth, particularly in fast-paced, digitally led businesses.

Hillier has held chief people officer roles at several online platforms, including Betfair and Just Eat. She has experience in the financial services and regulatory industries, having spent 15 years at Aviva earlier in her career and five years in a senior people leadership role at Ofcom.

She then worked for five years at Trainline, which was her most recent role. There, she helped to build the organisation’s culture and values, and shaped viewpoints on leadership, growth and employee experience.

Hillier said: “Hargreaves Lansdown is a business with a clear mission, a strong client-first culture and a talented team. I’m really excited to join the business at such an exciting stage and working with colleagues to support its people, culture and continued growth.”

Richard Flint, interim chief executive officer of Hargreaves Lansdown, added: “We’re delighted to welcome Lisa. She brings a strong track record in building award-winning organisational cultures and engaging staff in employers across a variety of sectors. With experience spanning several dynamic digitally led employers, a regulator and financial services, Lisa has led organisations through growth and change throughout her career. Lisa’s former colleagues have described her with two words: energy and enthusiasm, so we’re very pleased to welcome her to our team.”
