TransUnion UK appoints Neil Bentley as General Counsel to replace Bill Flynn
Global information and insights provider TransUnion has named Neil Bentley as general counsel in the UK.
Bentley has had a long history with the company, having been with the business since 2006. His in-depth knowledge of UK operations, combined with his previous management experience with the legal transactions and compliance teams, makes him a valuable asset to the company.
As general counsel, he will be responsible for leading legal, risk, and compliance, and will play an important role in guiding the company's operations and ensuring that they are conducted in compliance with all relevant laws and regulations. His previous work with industry regulators and the establishment of TransUnion's legal regulatory team demonstrate his expertise in this area, and his experience as a data protection officer will also be valuable in an era where data privacy concerns are increasingly important.
Commenting on his appointment, Bentley said: "I look forward to working with the executive team to help drive innovation and support our growth objectives whilst maintaining the highest industry standards of data stewardship and privacy. It's an exciting time for our sector, as credit information becomes an ever more integral aspect of people's day-to-day lives and I'm delighted to play a part in supporting this evolution."
Bentley succeeds Bill Flynn who moves on to TransUnion's international leadership team as senior vice president in charge of all legal teams outside of the US. Flynn will remain on the UK board and retain his close involvement with the UK business.
Satrajit "Satty" Saha, CEO of TransUnion in the UK said: "I'm really pleased to welcome Neil to the executive team. With his vast legal expertise, combined with a deep-rooted knowledge of our UK operations, he will be a valuable addition as we continue to carry out our strategies for long-term and sustained growth."
Saha said that they were fortunate to retain the support of Bill Flynn on the firm's UK board. "We thank him for the significant contribution he has made to the UK business over the past three years as general counsel. I look forward to working closely with both Bill and Neil in their new roles as we move forward," Saha added.
