Lloyds Banking Group has appointed John Langley as Chief Executive Officer of Corporate & Institutional Banking (CIB), the Group’s business unit that provides lending, working capital management, debt financing and risk management services for its largest commercial clients.
The appointment, which is subject to regulatory approval, follows John Winter’s decision to step down in 2026. John Winter will continue to work alongside our CIB team to strengthen and deepen relationships with our largest clients in a new Vice Chair, CIB role.
John Langley will join the Group in March 2026 from Wells Fargo, where he has most recently held the dual role of Chief Operating Officer for Corporate & Investment Banking and Head of Wells Fargo International based in New York.
Prior to this he was the Regional President and Head of Corporate & Investment Banking, Europe, Middle East & Africa based in London. Before joining Wells Fargo he was Global Head of Capital Markets at Barclays and previously held leadership roles in trading, sales and corporate risk advisory at Merrill Lynch.
Charlie Nunn Group Chief Executive Officer, Lloyds Banking GroupJohn has a wealth of financial services experience and I’m delighted that he has agreed to join Lloyds and help us build a better future for our customers. John Winter has overseen a transformation of CIB since joining Lloyds in 2022. He has played a critical role as part of my senior leadership team in the current strategic cycle and helped position Lloyds and CIB for sustained growth. When John let me know he intended to step down, he kindly agreed to help me search for a successor and then to ensure we have a smooth transition period for our incoming CIB CEO John Langley.
