Lily Lapenna MBE is the founder and Co-Chair of global social enterprise MyBnk. From 2007 to 2016, Lily was CEO of MyBnk, which supports young people to become financially resilient and work ready.

MyBnk’s innovative work has won awards for excellence, most recently by the Centre for Social Justice and The Observer. After having successfully campaigned to include financial education into the UK school curriculum, Lily now sits on the Financial Capability Strategy Board.
