Nest has appointed Ian Cornelius, interim CEO, as the chief executive officer (CEO) of its pension scheme.
Since becoming interim CEO in May 2024, Cornelius has overseen the development and implementation of the scheme’s 2030 corporate strategy and new purpose: building financial peace of mind for all.
He has previously served as interim group CEO at Skipton Building Society, a mutual owned by its members, and was previously the commercial & strategy director for a decade.
Cornelius says: “I am honoured to be appointed as Nest’s permanent CEO. Working with such a dedicated team has been a privilege, and I’m excited for what lies ahead.
“Nest members are my top priority. We remain committed to providing the support and security they need in pursuit of our purpose – building financial peace of mind for all. Together, we will continue to strive to make a positive impact on their lives, to be a force for good and to build a brighter future for all.”
Nest chair Brendan McCafferty says: “The Board and I are delighted that Ian has been appointed Nest’s permanent CEO. His expertise and insight have already accelerated Nest’s purpose-driven plans that put our low to middle income members at the heart of everything we do.
“One of Ian’s achievements since joining Nest has been the expansion of our executive team, with a focus on bringing in fresh perspectives. By fostering inclusivity and transparency, he has built a stronger organisation better equipped to serve our members with excellence.”
