Ex-Shadow Pensions Minister and a Quilter exec join TISA board
TISA, the investments and savings membership organisation, has announced two new board members including one from Quilter.
Jane Goodland, responsible business director at Quilter and Gregg McClymont, head of retirement at Aberdeen Standard Investments, have joined as non-executive directors.
Joining the existing 10 non-executive directors, former MP and Shadow Minister of State for Pensions Gregg McClymont brings experience from across both Parliament and the financial sector.
Mr McClymont was described as “a retirement expert with a focus on pensions solutions and long-term savings.”
Ms Goodland has more than 20 years’ experience in financial services, having worked across asset management and investment consulting focusing on sustainable investment in roles for HSBC, Janus Henderson and Willis Towers Watson.
She is also a “driving force” behind the TISA initiated project KickStart Money – a £1m industry project aimed at providing financial education in primary schools.
Meanwhile, TISA non-executive director Richard Freeman will be retiring from Quilter, but has agreed to continue his involvement with TISA and will remain a TISA independent non-executive director.
Ms Goodland said: “TISA’s commitment to ensuring good practice for consumers makes joining the board an exciting prospect.
“I’m delighted with my appointment and hope to bring further expertise to the board and TISA strategy development through my experience in responsible investment and sustainable business and my commitment to addressing diversity issues within our industry.”
Gregg McClymont said: “Helping to ensure consumers have the best options when it comes to saving for their future is a worthy cause, and I hope my experience both as head of retirement savings and as a former Shadow Minister for Work and Pensions can strengthen TISA’s continued commitment to consumers.”
Clive Shelton, TISA chairman said: “We are excited to welcome Jane and Gregg to the board. Their diversity of experience and combined passion for consumer focus will ensure that TISA continues to meet the varied needs of our broad membership base, while also delivering the best options for consumers.
“I also thank Richard Freeman for his enthusiastic support and contribution to TISA.
“In particular, Richard’s expertise in distribution has been an invaluable help as TISA developed its strategic policy towards ensuring UK consumers can access the financial guidance they need.
