The Pensions and Lifetime Savings Association (PLSA) has welcomed Caroline Escott as head of defined benefit (DB) and investment policy.
Escott (pictured) will lead the association’s investment-related public policy, research and publication initiatives.
She has a brief to promote a sustainable, long-term investment environment, while helping to improve value for the association’s members.
Escott joins from the Personal Investment Management & Financial Advice Association, where she was a senior policy adviser.
She also has stints at the UK Sustainable Investment & Finance Association and PR firm Hume Brophy on her CV.
Escott said she is excited to be joining an organisation at the forefront of developing the pensions market.
“There is a significant amount which needs to be achieved to push the market further and I look forward to working with the PLSA team and members to achieve this,” she added.
The PLSA’s head of governance and investment, Joe Dabrowski, described Escott as a valuable addition to the team who brings a wealth of investment and financial services knowledge to the association.
