HM Treasury has announced today the reappointment of Nina Hingorani-Crain as a Non-Executive Director to the Board of NS&I for a second, three-year term.
HM Treasury has announced today that Nina Hingorani-Crain has been reappointed as a Non-Executive Director to the Board of NS&I (National Savings and Investments), as of 1 November 2024. The reappointment will be for a term of three years.
Non-Executive Directors on NS&I’s Board ensure a sound strategy is in place to meet the organisation’s remit of raising cost-effective debt financing for the government. They also act as an external source of advice, have oversight of risk control, and ensure NS&I’s links with its outsourcing partners remain open and transparent.
NS&I is one of the largest savings organisations in the UK, offering a range of savings and investments. All products offer 100% capital security because NS&I is backed by HM Treasury.
Nina was first appointed as a Non-Executive Director in November 2021. She has held a number of high-profile executive and non-executive roles, including as Chief of Staff and Principal Private Secretary to the Chair of the Financial Services Authority (FSA) during the global financial crisis and as Chief of Staff leading the transition of the FSA into the Financial Conduct Authority, the current financial services regulator. She is currently on the Board of Nest (the workplace pension scheme set up by the UK government), a London mental health and community health NHS Foundation Trust, and the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW). She has previously served on the Board of the Charity Commission for England & Wales, and the Boards of several other national and regional organisations.
