Clara-Pensions has appointed Matt Wilmington to be its 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 to help ensure the seamless integration of new members when they join.
Clara said this appointment reflects its continued evolution as the business with a strong pipeline of deals to add to its existing 20,000 members and £1.2 billion of assets under management.
Clara-Pensions has also announced that 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, chief commercial officer Dan Adams will be leaving Clara. The company said Adams has been instrumental in the success of Clara’s first transactions and its strong growth trajectory to date.
Clara-Pensions CEO Simon True says: “[Wilmington’s] expertise will be invaluable as we progress to the scale-up stage of our development and look towards our strong pipeline of transactions.
“I would also like to pay tribute to Dan Adams who has made an invaluable contribution to the establishment and growth of Clara, and wish him the very best in his new role.”
