TISA chief steps down, sparking executive restructure
David Dalton-Brown will step down from his role as chief executive of The Investing and Savings Alliance (TISA) at the end of January after five years in the role.
Dalton-Brown has spent 13 years at the cross-industry financial services membership body. He is leaving for family reasons.
Following his departure, the TISA Group’s operations will be split into two streams, and two new advisory boards will be created – one for the traditional membership business unit, and one for the digital business unit. Both will be overseen by the TISA Group board.

TISA’s chief operating officer Carol Knight will take over as chief executive of the TISA traditional membership business unit, and Harry Weber-Brown, digital innovation director at TISA, will become chief executive of TISA’s digital business unit.
Gary Bond remains chief executive of TISA’s delivery entities, TISAtech and TURN, and Tony Stenning remains as chairman of TISA Group, with oversight of all of TISA’s workstreams, entities and policy pillars.
Both Knight and Weber-Brown will act as co-chief executives of TISA Group and will sit on the TISA Group Board.
“David will be greatly missed at TISA, having been fundamental to the company for 13 years, and a fantastic colleague and friend,” said Knight.
“We wish him and his family all the best, from everyone here at TISA.
“A new structure is already in place to make this transition seamless and I look forward to working with Tony, Harry and all of our people. We are ready and eager to face the future ahead of us.”
Weber-Brown added: “We would like to extend a huge thank you to David for his time at TISA, having been a key individual in developing the company into what it is today. David entrusted us with building a digital business here at TISA and was a great source of inspiration and insight as we grew.
“We wish David and his family all the best.”

“I am very pleased with what our team have accomplished during my time as chief executive,” said Dalton-Brown
“It has been a privilege to lead and develop the business, and I will look back on my time at TISA fondly.
“The organisation is on a strong footing for future challenges and will, I’m sure, thrive as both a leading financial services membership organisation campaigning for better consumer outcomes and a digital innovation hub for the entire industry. I would like to thank the entire team for what we have achieved together and look forward to hearing about their continued success.”
