David Hare, President of the IFoA comments;
“Martin will bring a breadth of experience to the position. He has worked extensively in insurance, investment, pensions and risk. He played a significant role in the success of the Pension Protection Fund as Director of Financial Risk, and as Chairman for the last four years of the UK Sustainable Investment and Finance Association (UKSIF) he has helped lead the way in raising the profile of this important area.
