Sasha Mills

Sasha Mills is Executive Director, Financial Market Infrastructure. She advances our work on making sure the financial system is stable. This work ensures UK banks, building societies, investment firms and central counterparties can be placed in resolution if they fail. We do this to remove risks to the financial system and public funds.

Sasha joined the Resolution Directorate from our Prudential Policy Directorate, where she was Director of Cross Cutting and Insurance Policy. There she was responsible for policy that affects banks and insurers including structural reform; accounting and the capital framework; governance and individual accountability; disclosure; and policy strategy and implementation.

Sasha has extensive experience in regulation and central banking. She brings thirty years of knowledge and understanding of financial markets to her role and has supervised some of the UK’s most systemically important firms. Sasha has steered prudential policy internationally for banking and insurance supervision. That has seen Sasha lead efforts on pieces of post-crisis legislation, as well as issues related to the legal framework for supervised firms in connection with the UK’s departure from the EU.

Sasha takes a leading role in diversity and inclusion issues and, having spent a significant part of her career working part-time, she is an advocate of flexible working.
