I have several complementary roles at Willis Towers Watson:• advising trustees as a scheme actuary;• being part of our team of subject-matter experts on DB scheme funding; and• shaping how we consult with all of our trustee clients in my role as Head of Trustee Consulting. Having led and completed a major front-runner GMP equalisation and conversion project in 2020/21, followed by a rapid buy-in/buyout for a multi-billion pound scheme, my other experiences and perspectives are in demand from those yet embarking on (or yet to tackle) those areas. These roles give me a great vantage point from which to see and learn about the fantastic work that my colleagues across the company are doing as thought leaders and with our clients - I’m always on the lookout for innovative approaches that have wider benefits for our other trustee clients. It is really rewarding to see the solutions we have put in place with our clients help them achieve their goals, particularly given the risks and challenges inherent in managing defined benefit pension schemes. I have a particular interest in scheme funding, both as a scheme actuary and having been part of our funding thought-leadership group since the beginning of my career. Like the Pensions Regulator, I believe that key strategic decisions should be coherent across the funding, investment and covenant dimensions and I’m therefore an advocate of integrated risk management being done well as well as ensuring other advice is grounded in the strategic context for the scheme and anticipates future moves. I also believe in clear communication, striving for simplicity and practicality, and making the most of technology.
