The BT Pension Scheme (BTPS) has announced Eileen Haughey as its new chief executive.
She replaces former BTPS chief executive Nigel Labram who stepped down last summer.
Haughey (pictured) will join the £38bn scheme in the summer from ICI Pension Fund where she is also chief executive of the trustee’s secretariat and support function.
At BTPS, Haughey will lead all aspects of support to the trustee, including asset and liability management, operations, administration and other member services.
She will report directly to BTPS trustee chairman Paul Spencer, who is also chairman of the BT Pension Scheme Management executive committee.
Spencer said: “Eileen’s breadth of pensions and finance expertise will be instrumental in further strengthening the activities of the trustee of the BT Pension Scheme, and the support we provide to more than 320,000 members. The trustee is delighted to welcome Eileen to the team.”
Haughey has more than 25 years’ experience in pensions, tax, treasury and corporate finance. Prior to her role at ICI, she was a partner at Deloitte.
Before this she spent more than five years as head of corporate finance at Marks & Spencer, during which time she was responsible for establishing the first asset-backed property partnership, which put £500m into the pension scheme.
