Barnaby Davis is Chief Strategy and Information Officer at the Charities Aid Foundation (CAF), one of the UK’s most significant philanthropic organisations, facilitating the payment of over a billion pounds a year in charitable giving from donors to charities. His appointment brought to the role a career that is genuinely unusual in its breadth, spanning retail banking leadership, global technology, management consulting, and the social enterprise and not-for-profit sectors. For 30 years, his earlier career was built in banking. At Barclays, he rose to Managing Director of the UK Branch Network, overseeing one of the largest retail distribution operations in British banking, having previously served as Electronic Banking Director. He then moved to Nationwide Building Society as Divisional Director of Group Retail Strategy, where he led strategy formulation, digital and mobile banking, customer data and insight, and new branch design. From there, Barnaby pivoted into the technology sector. He joined Ernst & Young (EY) as Executive Director and Head of Digital for UK Financial Services Advisory, advising major institutions on digital and physical banking transformation. He then spent five years at Apple as Industry Lead for Banking and Financial Services across Europe, the Middle East, India and Africa (EMEIA), working with banks and financial institutions at the forefront of enterprise technology transformation and customer experience innovation. That combination of large-scale operational leadership, strategic thinking and deep technology expertise is precisely what Barnaby now brings to CAF, helping one of the world’s most important philanthropic intermediaries modernise how it operates and grows its impact. He has also served as a founding Digital and Marketing Advisory Board member for Save the Children UK since 2016, reflecting a long-standing personal commitment to the charitable sector alongside his commercial career.
