DF Capital has appointed Sameera Khaliq as its new chief financial officer (CFO).

Khaliq was appointed as CFO designate on 2 April 2025, following Gavin Morris's announcement that he was to retire from the role.

Khaliq brings almost two decades of financial services and regulated lending experience to the role, having held senior financial leadership positions, most recently at Skipton Building Society.

She has also held a non-executive director position at the Leeds Credit Union.

Following her designate appointment in April, chief executive at DF Capital, Carl D’Ammassa, said: "I am delighted to welcome Khaliq to the firm. Khaliq brings extensive financial leadership experience, covering all elements of the bank's balance sheet including regulated lending. Her experience working for high quality companies of significant scale, who, like DF Capital have demonstrated a strong focus on growth whilst optimising returns will be invaluable to us as we enter this next phase of our strategic plan.”

Khaliq added: "I am truly excited to join DF Capital at this pivotal moment in its journey. It has built a strong foundation of growth, innovation, and a dynamic culture that fosters collaboration and excellence. I look forward to using my experience to support the continued success of the business."
