People’s Partnership, the leading workplace pension provider, has today announced the appointment of Kay Smith as its new Chief Finance Officer.
Kay, who has a proven track record of leading the financial strategies of large organisations, was previously the Chief Finance Officer at Amwins Global Risks Group and over a career stretching across nearly two decades, has held senior roles at companies such as Finastra and Arthur J Gallagher.
She will be responsible for overseeing the organisation’s financial strategy to support its future growth.
Her appointment is confirmed less than two weeks after it was announced that The People’s Pension had surpassed £30 billion assets under management, confirming People’s Partnership as the biggest independent provider of workplace defined contribution pensions in the UK.
Commenting on her appointment, Kay said: “I feel privileged to join the People’s Partnership team, and I look forward to supporting the great work that my colleagues are doing in such a fast-growing organisation. It is such an exciting time for pensions, and I want to play my part in helping our 6.8 million members grow stronger financially.”
Patrick Heath-Lay, Chief Executive Officer of People’s Partnership, said: “I am delighted that Kay has agreed to join People’s Partnership at a time when we are serving more people than ever before. Her appointment is great news for us and our members as I am confident she will be instrumental in supporting our drive for further growth in a consolidating market.”
