Independent Governance Group (IGG) has made two appointments to its business development team.
The professional trustee and governance services group has appointed Charlie Stewart as client growth manager and Imran Rahim as business development manager.
Stewart joins from Isio and has almost a decade of experience in investment consulting and portfolio strategy across the pensions sector. He is a chartered financial analyst with extensive experience advising trustees and pension scheme sponsors. In his role at Isio he was the day-to-day relationship manager for multiple DB clients, delivering investment strategy, ESG training, TCFD compliance, and portfolio design — including bespoke credit-led CDI solutions.
Rahim has over a decade of experience in business development and bid management across professional services, technology, and the public sector. He joins from First Actuarial where he was bid manager, involved in the end-to-end business development strategy, stakeholder engagement, and the implementation of innovative tools and approaches.
Both roles sit at the heart of IGG’s commercial growth strategy. IGG chief business development officer Mark Wileman says: “These appointments reflect IGG’s continued focus on strengthening the commercial side of our business to meet growing demand for our services.
“Their combined experience across the pensions industry, business development and client relationship management will help us to scale our offering, build new opportunities and ensure that our commercial strategy is aligned with the growing demand of our services.”
