Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.ONE OF the four senior executives who left ING Barings last autumn has popped up at the information technology recruitment firm JM. Peter Bennett left the investment bank after three years as global chief operating officer. He had been brought in from UBS to rebuild Barings' back-office operations after the Nick Leeson disaster.
Then last year ING Barings suffered big losses in emerging markets and brought in David Robins, a former colleague of Mr Bennett at UBS, to be a "new broom" chief executive.
Mr Bennett says: "I had already made my mind up to leave. I was disenchanted with investment banking - I'd been doing it for far too long. Mr Robins needed someone to make a new start with."
Mr Bennett, who was once a systems analyst with IBM back in the 1960s, is now head of JM's IT headhunting operations.
