Monzo co-founder and deputy chief executive Paul Rippon is standing down to spend time running an alpaca farm with his wife in Northumberland. In a blog posted to LinkedIn, Rippon, who co-founded Monzo with chief executive Tom Blomfield in 2015, announced that he was leaving the challenger bank to “go and enjoy life” after 27 years working in financial services and eight years away from his farm, where his wife Debbie has taken the lion’s share of work setting up their business Barnacre Alpacas.
