Clara-Pensions, the U.K. member-first pensions consolidation company for defined benefit pension schemes, has appointed Matt Wilmington as chief transactions officer.
Wilmington joins from Scottish Widows, where he spent six years as head of origination and structuring. At Clara, he will lead all origination activities and ensure the seamless integration of new members when they join.
With a strong pipeline of deals, this appointment reflects Clara’s continued evolution as the business adds to its existing 20,000 members and £1.2 billion ($1.5 billion) of assets under management.
In other news, Luke Stratford-Higton will take on the newly created role of chief actuarial officer, where he will continue to grow Clara’s pricing capability and transaction support through expansion of the actuarial team. Elsewhere, Dan Adams, chief commercial officer, will be leaving Clara.
