Pete Ball has been appointed chief executive of Foundation Home Loans, succeeding Hans Geberbauer, who will retire from the firm.

Ball has over 30 years’ experience working within the financial services sector.  He has served as chief executive of Together Personal Finance since 2016 and, prior to that, held the roles of chief executive of Harrods Bank and commercial director at Virgin Money.  Ball is expected to take up his new role in second quarter 2024.  Geberbauer will continue as chief executive of the firm until then.

Foundation chairman Jon Locke said: “On behalf of the entire board and shareholders, I want to thank Hans for his leadership and his many contributions to the company over the course of two decades. We are pleased to have an executive as experienced and talented as Pete ready to take up the mantle and expect a smooth leadership transition.”

Ball (pictured) commented: “Under Hans’ leadership, Foundation Home Loans has created a great history of listening to customers, putting them first and making the complex simple. I am honoured to have the privilege of being part of the team going forward and look forward to continuing to find and deliver solutions for our customers.”
