Description: Lou left a senior position at UBS Investment Bank in July 2008, where she was in charge of multimillion pound share offers and fund raising for a range of global companies. Voted among the 100 most influential women in the City in Financial News, she was all too aware that conventional financial markets are loaded against the smaller, private investor. She is now using her skills to make sure our Debentures are working in the interests of our customers. Louise is responsible for managing our projects team.
