The Investing and Saving Alliance (Tisa)

David Dalton-Brown will step down as chief executive of the cross-industry financial services membership body.

He will leave for family reasons after five years at the helm of the organisation and 13 years at Tisa in total.

Tisa Group’s operations will now be focused into two streams, with the creation of two advisory boards: one for the traditional membership business unit, which includes Tisa’s strategic, policy and events work, and one for the rapidly growing digital business unit, which includes Tisa’s digital initiatives and Tisa Delivery Entities (TDEs).

Both will be overseen, as currently, by the Tisa Group board.

Carol Knight, currently chief operating officer at Tisa, will take over as chief executive of the Tisa traditional membership business unit, and Harry Weber-Brown, digital innovation director at Tisa, will become chief executive of Tisa’s digital business unit.

Gary Bond remains chief executive of TDE, TISAtech and TURN.

Tony Stenning remains as chairman of Tisa Group, with oversight of all of Tosa’s workstreams, entities and policy pillars.

Knight and Weber-Brown will act as co-chief executives of Tisa Group and sit on the Tisa Group board.
