Hodge Bank appoints new chief technology officer

Cardiff-based Hodge Bank has appointed Scott Hill as chief technology officer to lead its technology strategy and digital transformation. 

The bank, which provides savings, mortgage and commercial lending services, continues to invest in innovation to enhance customer experience and operational efficiency.

Scott brings extensive experience from global technology and financial services organisations, including IBM, Accenture, Dyson, Diageo, Versace and most recently Target Group, where he focused on driving digital transformation and agility.

In his new role, Scott will oversee Hodge’s technology vision and delivery, ensuring digital innovation remains central to the bank’s long-term growth strategy and its mission to create simpler, smarter and more customer-focused financial solutions.

He said: “I'm excited to be joining Hodge Bank as its new chief technology officer. 

“I’ve been following the impressive work this team has done, and I'm eager to build on that success.

“On a personal note, I'm a proud Welshman, born and raised in Maesteg. 

“I’ve always believed the values I learned growing up – integrity, trust, and resilience - are just as important in the world of technology as they are in life.

“My career has taken me through some of the biggest names in the tech world, from global leaders like IBM and Accenture, where I honed my skills in strategic technology delivery and innovation. 

“I’ve also had the privilege of leading digital transformation projects for major brands such as Dyson, Diageo and Versace, helping them navigate the complexities of modern digital change. 

“These experiences have taught me a fundamental principle, one that aligns perfectly with the culture at Hodge Bank: to focus on the moments that matter. 

“It’s at these critical junctures where the right technology and strategic decisions can not only solve problems but also create new opportunities and drive real business growth and more importantly create positive outcomes for customers.”
