She will also manage all aspects of its digital relationship with clients.

Jonathan Wragg, Investec Wealth & Investment CEO, said: “Our digital services will play a growing role in driving client acquisition, engagement, market differentiation and growth.

Adding: “Our investment in this area puts us in a strong position to extend our investment management expertise to a broader range of clients.”
