The Pensions Regulator (TPR) has appointed former Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) director Jo Hill as executive director of strategy and risk.
From November, Hill (pictured) will be responsible for implementing TPR’s focus on proactive oversight of high risk schemes across the defined benefit (DB), defined contribution (DC) and public service sectors.
She will also be in charge of the regulator’s attempt to make better use of data to identify emerging risks to pensions.
TPR chair Mark Boyle said: “The effective use of data in the early detection and mitigation of risks is crucial and through her wealth of experience and knowledge in this area, Jo will help maximise our effectiveness as we strive to make workplace pensions work for savers.”
Prior to joining TPR, Hill spent almost nine years as director of Market Intelligence, Data and Analysis at the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).
Overall, she has spent 15 years with the financial services regulator, having started off as a firm supervisor, with a one-year stint as audit manager at Barclays.
