Craig Wellman leads the Microsoft UK Financial Services business, serving its largest clients in the Industry.

He is responsible for the full breadth of Microsoft’s offering to the sector across Software, Cloud, Service and Support. His goal is to partner with the Industry to build trust with customers, transform working practices and maximise the digital opportunity.

Financial Services is at a tipping point of change, with financial inclusion, exponential growth in data, regulatory pressure, rapidly evolving customer expectation and financial crime all at the heart of every board room agenda.

As one of Microsoft’s globally nominated investment Industries and a major financial centre, the UK is home to many of the world’s marquee brands, including Retail and Investment banks, Insurance institutions, through to Fintech and Challenger banks.

Prior to joining Microsoft, Craig held senior leadership roles in a number of organisations including Legal and General, Vodafone and Virgin Group. Craig is married, has three children and lives in the Newbury area.
