Dame Debbie Crosbie: Nationwide Boss Took Home Pay Package of £4.67m for Latest Financial Year
Nationwide said the increase came after Debbie Crosbie cashed in a long-term award tied to three-year performance.
- Chief executive Dame Debbie Crosbie received a total pay package of £4.67 million for the year ending March 31, nearly doubling her previous earnings following the £2.9 billion Virgin Money acquisition.
- Nationwide's pay committee stated it was "comfortable that remuneration outcomes reflect the society's excellent performance," while the firm distributes £100 to 4.4 million members this month as part of profit-sharing totaling £1.5 billion since 2023.
- Separately, James Sherwin-Smith became the first member-nominated candidate to stand for a board seat in 24 years, arguing the election is about whether members "have a meaningful voice in the governance of their society."
- Nationwide's board recommends voting against Sherwin-Smith, utilizing a so-called "quick vote" option and stating it was "not satisfied that he would contribute constructively and effectively to the board."
- Advanced voting opened on Monday ahead of Nationwide's annual general meeting on July 15, as Sherwin-Smith, with more than 20 years in financial services, challenges the board's assessment of his qualifications.
