London Pensions Fund Authority Appoints CEO

The London Pensions Fund Authority (LPFA), part of the Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) in the U.K., has appointed Susan Martin as its new CEO.

Since August, Martin has been serving interim CEO since August and was previously deputy CEO. She has been with LPFA since 2007. Martin has over 20 years of experience in senior management roles, encompassing organizational change, pensions, and M&A across private and public sectors,

“This is a hugely exciting time to be leading the LPFA. Over the coming months we will pursue a strategy that puts collaboration and the sharing of skills and expertise at the heart of what we do, using our resources to help deliver improvements across the LGPS. It is only through this kind of cooperation that we can hope to solve the public sector pensions deficit crisis in the U.K.,” says Martin.

“I am delighted to announce Susan’s appointment as CEO of the LPFA, which comes as we prepare for what will be a pivotal year for public sector pensions in the U.K.. Local Government Minster Brandon Lewis’s Call for Evidence into the future of the LGPS is a once in a generation opportunity to solve real issues and reduce deficits. Susan’s abilities as a leader, motivator and collaborator make her the ideal person to deliver positive change within the LPFA and to offer our services to help the wider LGPS,” says Edi Truell, chairman of the LPFA.
