António Horta-Osório

Group Chief Executive, Lloyds Banking Group

Known to his staff as Horta or AHO, Portuguese-born banker Horta-Osório joined Lloyds in 2011 as an executive director and was made CEO in less than two months. Despite the ongoing fallout from 2008’s public bailout, and in the face of billions of pounds of PPI claims, he has steered Lloyds to more stable ground, and in 2015 it resumed paying dividends for the first time in six years. Horta-Osório graduated from university in Lisbon before completing further study at INSEAD (winning the Henry Ford II Prize for the best student in the year), and Harvard Business School. He joined Citibank in Portugal where he became vice president and head of capital markets, and went on to senior roles at Goldman Sachs and Santander prior to joining Lloyds. He was awarded the Euromoney Best Banker Award in 2013.
