Target Group Bolsters Risk and Compliance with Key Appointment
Target Group, a provider of digital transformation, software and business process servicing, has appointed Jonathan Hole as the company's new chief risk officer (CRO).
Jonathan brings four decades of experience to Target in credit, market and operational risk, including internal and external audit, compliance and approved regulatory functions. Throughout his career he has held several senior roles within major financial institutions such as Barclays, GE Money and Santander, with remits covering both the UK and European markets.
He has also gained considerable experience managing risk and compliance in the mortgage market with the likes of Aldermore, Foundation Home Loans and Paragon Banking Group.
In his new role, Jonathan will be working with the exco team to create and implement robust risk and compliance frameworks, designed to protect both Target itself and its clients' interests. He will be working with internal teams to support bids and provide regulatory updates and solutions to client needs – as well as horizon scanning to stay one step ahead of upcoming changes or updates.
Alongside managing Target's risk function and internal governance as a second line of defence, Jonathan is also responsible for data protection and financial crime, as well as leading Target's compliance department.
Working with major top tier financial institutions, Target provides a range of services including mortgage and loan originations, payments and collections, in life servicing and People as a Service (PaaS). Target is also a creator of software solutions and is a leading provider of business process outsourcing (BPO), facilitating digital transformation among organisations.
Jonathan Hole said:
'I'm thrilled to join to Target in a role that offers tremendous opportunity – particularly given our services and remits with major financial institutions across the world. One thing that has really impressed me is that the conflict that often exists between risk and operations or commercial teams does not exist at Target. Instead, we are all pulling in the same direction and fighting for the same thing to achieve good customer outcomes and deliver on the commercial interests of our clients.
'Above all though, I've found the people at Target to be really lovely and friendly, with a strong and genuine culture of family. It's great to be working with the tremendous team here to ensure our proactive approach to risk and regulation remains both a strategic and competitive advantage for our clients and for Target as a business.'
Peter O'Connor, CEO of Target Group, adds:
'Across financial services, Target is well known for delivering innovative and scalable solutions that are backed by deep domain expertise and unrivalled regulatory knowledge. Jonathan's impressive track record across multiple disciplines and established blue chip organisations clearly speaks for itself and makes him a superb addition to the Target team. As we continue to execute our growth strategy, leveraging his skills and expertise as part of our team will be a huge advantage to Target and our customers.'

Russell Martin can transform Rangers as ex-owner loves him
And to this day, the ex-MK Dons owner insists he loves Martin dearly for the work he did at his beloved club. Winkelman gave the Rangers managerial candidate his big break in management in the English lower leagues. The 39-year-old had the Dons playing free-flowing football and quickly attracted the attentions of Swansea. But it wasn't just what he delivered on the pitch. His old boss says he brought the whole club together as his impact went beyond just the training pitch and a game on a Saturday. Winkelman told the Scottish Sun: "I love the man. I wish him every success.

'Russ has an understanding of the whole club, and great knowledge of how all the parts come together. 'It's not just about coaching for him, he understands how the club all fits. 'This is probably the kind of talk that impressed the Rangers bosses in his interview. 'You need that understanding if you're competing at the top of the Premiership. It's as tough as it can be. 'I'll be thrilled for him if he gets the job. I'll be excited to see what he can do. 'Rangers will certainly be an attractive team to watch if Russ gets the job. 'I'll be watching for Rangers' results now. You tend to do that with people you really like.' Winkelman once appointed Roberto Di Matteo, who went onto win the Champions League with Chelsea, and former Liverpool and Manchester United star Paul Ince. He holds Martin in similar regard, adding: 'Russ was one of the best appointments I made, and I like to think I made a few. 'I gave Roberto Di Matteo his first job, and he ended up winning the Champions League with Chelsea. 'I gave Paul Ince his second job in management and that went well, too. 'I'm quite pleased with my track record in appointing managers.

Everything at Mango is 30% off — yes, everything
If your wardrobe could use a little European cool — think timeless with just enough twist — Mango should be on your radar. The brand excels at those subtle style flexes: a crisp white tee with a cinched waist, a black dress that dips off one shoulder just so. And right now, everything on the site is 30% off. Yes, everything — women's, men's, kids' — when you use code EXTRA30 at checkout. With summer on the horizon (and maybe a few trips on the books), it's the perfect excuse to upgrade your rotation: easy linen sets, sharp little dresses, cropped pants that work with sandals or sneakers. I went deep on the site to find the standouts — scroll on for the best of the best. The best women's sale at Mango Wide Leg Linen Pants $69.99 $99.99 Mango Now 30% off What to Consider Linen pants are a summer staple. This brown pair has a wide-leg silhouette and a drawstring waist. The pants are made from 100% linen and have two slit pockets in the back, along with side pockets. One thing to note: These can be machine washed but should be hung out to dry. This skirt is made from 100% cotton for a light, breezy feel. It has an A-line silhouette and comes in three colors — white, black or red. The waistband is elastic and the hemline hits right above the ankle on most people. Have a summer wedding to attend? This midi dress would make a great outfit choice.
