The guy Bill Winters boasts a CBE, its on his workpage profile, and wiki.

Winters received a CBE in the 2013 Birthday Honours for services to the Economy and UK Financial Services Industry.
FIGHT BACK

It could be worth emailing the hounours department 📢 📢 📢 honours@cabinetoffice.gov.uk 📢 📢 📢 to request he is stripped of his order, arguing he brings the honours system in disrepute.

Standing for Commander of the Order of the British Empire, CBE is the highest ranking Order of the British Empire level (excluding a knighthood/damehood), followed by OBE and then MBE. An individual may be appointed a CBE for having a prominent role at national level, or a leading role at regional level. The honour may also be conferred for a distinguished and innovative contribution to any area.

His statement stains the CBE values because it devalues people, it prioritises technology over employee welfare, undermines responsible leadership, and conflicts with the public‑service and ethical expectations associated with the honour. -
