Redington has appointed Sylvia Pozezanac as chief executive officer.
Pozezanac joins Redington in April from Mercer UK, where she was president and CEO. Pozezanac has over 30 years of international retirement, financial advising, and insurance experience. Mitesh Sheth MBE, who left Redington in December 2021, is her successor.
Redington says Pozezanac will continue to drive its growth and strategic expansion in existing and new markets as CEO. She will work with Interim CEO and executive board member Zoe Taylor in the coming months to facilitate a smooth handover of responsibilities as Zoe returns to her deputy CEO post.
Redington chair of the board Kathryn Purves says: “Redington is at a hugely exciting point in its development. As we continue towards our aim of helping to make 100 million people financially secure, for the benefit of people and planet, our focus is on supporting our growing client base of DB and DC pension schemes, and also expanding our proposition for wealth managers across the UK & Europe. Key to this is advancing our technology solutions to help all clients make more timely and informed decisions for the benefit of their end-beneficiaries.
“Given Sylvia’s impressive experience, combined with a clear desire to innovate and understand each and every one of our clients’ needs, I am certain she is the right person to lead Redington on this journey.”
Pozezanac says: “Redington created a storm in the market when it launched in 2006 and I have followed its development with interest ever since. The fact that after 15 years the business remains so well-known for its relentless client focus, innovative, purpose-driven and inclusive culture speaks for itself.
“Redington has clear ambitions for continued responsible and strategic growth and technological innovation which I am excited to be part of. I look forward to working with the team to advance these objectives and drive even more successful outcomes for our clients.”
