Scilla Grimble, who has also held senior positions at Tesco and was managing director at UBS Investment Bank, will be appointed to the board as chief financial officer, subject to regulatory approval.

Grimble’s start date will be confirmed “in due course”.

“I am very happy to be joining Moneysupermarket and look forward to working with the team to build on the success of the business and deliver the new strategy,” she said.
