Neil Coulbeck

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Neil Coulbeck (1952 – July 11, 2006) was a banker with the Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS).

Coulbeck was Head of Financial Markets for North America with RBS until June 2001, when he returned to London as Head of Group Treasury. He had been questioned by the FBI in relation to the collapse of Enron, which involved the RBS subsidiary, NatWest. He is reported to have been the executive who authorised the transfer of Enron assets to the investment vehicle operated by the NatWest Three, although there was no suggestion that he had profited personally from this transaction.

Coulbeck was found dead in a park in Chingford, London on July 11, 2006, having been reported missing by his family the previous week.

Police, who released a photo of Coulbeck, said they were treating his death as "unexplained". There is no indication his death is linked to the fraud case

Coulbeck was the author of the book The Multinational Banking Industry, published in 1984.
