Camilla Stowell (Coutts): Real Success Takes True Character

In today’s episode, we chat with the wonderful Camilla Stowell. Camilla is the Managing Director and Head of Private Clients & Commercial at Coutts. More than a bank, Coutts is a certified B Corp, that knows wealth is not simply about worth but staying true to your values. Committed to strategically aligning its business with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, and the Paris Agreement on Climate Change, Coutts maintains a strong focus on meeting the needs and desires of its clients whilst through the Coutts Foundation, they maintain a mission to support sustainable approaches to tackle the causes and consequences of poverty. Focusing on the communities in which Coutts has a presence by breaking cycles of poverty and providing basic human needs. “Each and every one of us has the power to create change. And now, more than ever is the time to do just that.” ~ Peter Flavel, CEO of Coutts. With a history dating back to 1692, Coutts has come a long way in their 330-year history. Strengthened further in October 1990, when Coutts and NatWest merged their existing subsidiaries (which included Handelsbank). Today, Coutts forms part of the NatWest Group and is committed to helping people reach their potential whilst connecting with and contributing to our wider society.
