Charlotte Hogg

Charlotte Mary Hogg (born 26 August 1970) is a British management consultant and senior executive in financial services and central banking. In July 2025, she was appointed as CEO of Alter Domus, a financial services and investment company. In October 2017 she was appointed as CEO of Visa's European operations. Hogg was the chief operating officer of the Bank of England between 2013 and 2017, and additionally served briefly as Deputy Governor (Markets and Banking) at the Bank of England from 1 March 2017 to 14 March 2017, before resigning from both positions because she had failed to declare that her brother was employed in the banking industry.

Hogg previously worked for McKinsey & Company, Morgan Stanley and Discover Financial Services in the United States, and Experian and Santander UK in the UK.

Early life The Hon Charlotte Hogg was born on 26 August 1970 in London, England. Both her parents hold peerages in their own right: her father is the 3rd Viscount Hailsham, a former Member of Parliament and hereditary peer as well as being a life peer, and her mother is the Baroness Hogg, a life peer. Both her paternal and maternal grandfathers served as Cabinet ministers, the former Quintin Hogg, Baron Hailsham of St Marylebone, who previously served as Lord Chancellor on two occasions, and the latter being John Boyd-Carpenter, Baron Boyd-Carpenter, former Chief Secretary to the Treasury and Paymaster General.

She was brought up on the family estate of Kettlethorpe Hall in Kettlethorpe, Lincolnshire.

She was educated at St Mary's School, an all-girls private Catholic school in Ascot, Berkshire; her mother also attended the school. From 1991 to 1992, having been selected as a Kennedy Scholar, she undertook further study at Harvard University. She took up the appointment on 1 July 2013. In that role, she was responsible for the day-to-day management of the bank, including human resources, finance, property, IT, and security, as part of Carney's efforts to streamline the institution. However, she had no policy making decisions as that falls to the Governor and Deputy Governor. As COO, she had the same status and received the same remuneration as a Deputy Governor.

Resignation In March 2017, Hogg apologised for having previously breached the Bank of England's code of conduct and personal relationships policy. She had failed to declare a potential conflict of interest in that her brother worked in the strategy office of Barclays, subject to Bank of England regulation. Hogg gave incorrect oral evidence to the Treasury Select Committee. She issued a letter of apology to the committee.

Hogg resigned from her posts at the Bank of England on 14 March after the Select Committee criticised her failure to disclose the conflict, to recognise the seriousness of this and to realise the potential for conflict of interest in her new role. The Committee said her conduct "fell short of the very high standards" required and that the committee had "set aside" its previous approval of her appointment. The Bank of England conducted a search for two candidates to replace Hogg's vacated positions, one for the COO and the other for Deputy Governor (markets and banking).

Later career Following her departure from the Bank of England, Hogg was appointed chief executive officer (CEO) of Visa’s European operations in October 2017. She is currently a member of the Build Back Better Council, founded in January 2021 to "fuel COVID-19 economic recovery and future growth".

She started working in Alter Domus in 2025.

Personal life In 1999, Hogg married Steven Sacks; the couple have two children.
