Smart Pension has appointed the former chair of the Pensions Administration Standards Association (PASA) Kim Gubler to be an independent trustee on its board.
Gubler has over 30 years’ experience in the pensions industry and is a fellow at both the Pensions Management Institute (PMI) and the Pensions Advisory Service.
She is an accredited professional trustee and was an independent trustee director of the Crystal Master Trust. She also sits on the Pension Dashboards Programme Advisory Group and DWP’s Default Consolidator Delivery Group.
Gubler set up KGC, a leading governance consultancy in 2002 and is a strong advocate of leveraging technology to deliver better outcomes for pension savers.
Gubler is also the PMI’s principal examiner for professionalism and governance. Outside of pensions, she is a British dressage judge, as well as competing on her own horses.
Smart CEO Jamie Fiveash says: “[Gubler] has long-standing experience within the industry and her expertise will be vital to ensure that we continue to be a market-leader in administration and customer service as we continue to grow.
“Her skills will be an invaluable asset as the industry moves towards consolidation, something we are keen to lead the field in.”
