Prudential plc has announced that Sir Douglas Flint will be appointed as a Non-Executive Director and Chair-Designate.
He will succeed Baroness Shriti Vadera as Chair following the company’s annual general meeting on 28 May 2026 when the latter will retire from the board after six years of service.
He is expected, subject to regulatory approval, to join the board in March, enabling an orderly handover. He will also join the Nomination & Governance and Remuneration Committees.
He has spent over two decades at HSBC, serving as Group Finance Director from 1995 to 2010 and then as Group Chair from 2010 until 2017. Since 2018, he has chaired both Aberdeen Group and IP Group.
