Emma Sterland

As a member of the Executive Team, I lead the Financial Planning business, delivering excellence for clients and colleagues alike across Evelyn Partners & NatWest Group (including Coutts). I am curious about the potential of AI and focused on adopting it within a robust, well-governed framework, so that it delivers real benefits for clients. With 25 years' experience in financial services, I have worked across large listed banks and private equity-owned businesses, with deep expertise in acquisitions and integrations, most recently Evelyn Partners' sale to NatWest Group. I have a strong understanding of the regulatory environment including consumer duty principles. I believe talent comes from many routes, and I am dedicated to building a culture where every colleague, (graduate or those who have taken a different path) can progress and succeed. I am passionate about advancing financial literacy and committed to mentoring and championing talent across our industry. I am a Chartered Financial Planner and a Fellow of the Chartered Insurance Institute.
