David Hodgkinson

David Hodgkinson is a prominent figure in the banking sector, known for his role as the chairman of AIB during a critical period following the financial crisis. His advocacy for the reintroduction of variable pay for bank executives in 2014 sparked significant controversy, as it came at a time when AIB was still recovering from substantial losses and the effects of the bailout. Hodgkinson's push for bonuses highlighted the ongoing tensions between the banking industry and public sentiment regarding executive compensation, particularly in light of the stringent regulations imposed after the crisis.
