Anne Boden is the CEO and founder of Starling Bank, the UK's first digital-only bank which she founded in 2014. She graduated in Computer Science and Chemistry and started her career at Lloyds Bank where she helped establish the UK's first real-time payments system. She has held various executive-level jobs in the banking sector, including being Head of EMEA Global Transaction Banking across 34 countries for RBS and ABN AMRO, before leaving to start her own bank that could realise the potential of technology in financial services. Anne received an MBE in 2018, for services to financial technology and sits on the board of UK Finance, which represents more than 250 firms in the banking and finance industry.

Welsh, 5ft, female and fiftysomething: when Anne Boden decided to launch a new "challenger" bank she seemed like neither the typical staid financier nor the archetypal fintech founder.

I was left pondering who would bid for the film rights - and this isn't something you often think about a business book.

Boden is a true disruptor, and her big idea for disrupting the banking sector with her digital only bank is truly inspirational.
