Rothesay announces new Non-Executive Board members

2 February 2021

Rothesay, the UK’s largest pensions insurance specialist, is pleased to announce the appointments of Ed Giera, Jane Hanson and Heather Jackson to the Board as independent NonExecutive Directors.

Experience across a range of sectors

The new Non-Executive Directors have broad experience across a range of sectors, including banking, insurance, retailing and infrastructure. Their successful executive careers have included leadership of technology, operations, corporate governance, risk management and financial advisory activities and each of them also has a strong track record as a Non-Executive Director.

Their appointments follow the decision by Rothesay’s shareholders, GIC and MassMutual, to increase their investment in Rothesay through a transaction announced in September 2020 which valued the business at £5.75bn. Each of the shareholders will now have the right to appoint two Non-Executive Directors

Simon Morris

Rothesay also announces that Simon Morris will step down as an independent Non-Executive Director.

The new appointments will ensure that Rothesay’s Board will continue to have a majority of independent Non-Executive Directors.

Ed Giera and Jane Hanson have both started in their new roles; Heather Jackson is expected to start in March once the required formal approvals have been received.
