I am an Accredited Professional Trustee with over 25 years of experience in managing complex and challenging situations, such as funding negotiations, restructuring, insolvency, litigation, and liability management. I have a strong actuarial background and a proven track record of founding and leading successful pensions businesses.I qualified as a Fellow of the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries in 1990 and have held a UK Scheme Actuary practising certificate since 1997. I founded and led Dalriada Trustees Limited, one of the UK’s largest firms of professional pension scheme trustees, Spence & Partners Limited, a leading firm of actuaries, and Mantle, a pension scheme administration and risk analysis software company.
