Lisa will be taking up the position of Chief Marketing Officer, responsible for marketing, PR and product and proposition development as Atom seeks to build a brand that is truly customer-centric.

Lisa joins from first direct where she was responsible for the refresh of the brand by bringing in stronger use of social media channels to engage a younger audience. In this role, Lisa led a number of successful campaigns, including the Barry the Platypus advertising campaign, to reinvigorate the brand and increase new customer recruitment.

Prior to this, Lisa was Head of Customer Propositions for the HSBC Expat business, based in Jersey. Here she was responsible for repositioning the HSBC brand in the offshore banking sector, giving it focus and relevance to its key audience of UK expats living all around the world.

Commenting on her decision to join Atom, Lisa said: "Rarely in your career do you get to combine all the knowledge and experience you've gained along the way in creating something you really believe in, a better bank being built from the bottom up around what customers really want and value. Having a clean sheet of paper, building a brand from scratch and with a group of people who are passionate about what they're doing was too good an opportunity to miss!"

Speaking about the new addition to the team, Mark Mullen, Atom's Chief Executive said: "We're delighted to have Lisa onboard, helping us create a new digital bank that's truly customer-centric. She understands how a bank without branches works, and knows what today's consumers want from their bank. She also has a great deal of experience in developing propositions and bringing them to market in a way that can challenge people's views of the banking industry. Lisa's arrival is yet another major building block in our drive to build a truly revolutionary proposition for customers."
