Robin Scher

Head of Fintech Investment at Lloyds Banking Group

Speaker

Before working in banking, Robin was a teacher in an inner-city school (a career he will return to later in life) but swapped managing the behaviour of children in the classroom to managing the behaviour of adults in a boardroom.

Robin spent his early career in working in Commercial Banking, first in frontline relationship and leadership roles and, latterly, defining strategy. He moved on to manage Lloyds Banking Group’s annual £3bn+ internal Change budget, leading on the prioritisation process for this investment spend. Most recently, Robin has helped set up an equity investment arm of Lloyds, focussed on taking minority stakes in early stage Fintechs, where he manages origination and transactions.

Robin lives in North London with his wife and two young daughters, which means he now knows the lyrics to almost every Disney song ever written.
