ABI appoints Segar’s successor

The Association of British Insurers (ABI) has appointed Helen McCarthy as head of pensions and savings development.

McCarthy takes up the role following the departure of Joanne Segars to the National Association of Pension Funds (NAPF) in January, and steps up from her previous role as ABI pensions policy adviser.

McCarthy has also previously been employed at the Treasury and Department for Work and Pensions.

She says: “I’m delighted to have been appointed in my new role at the ABI at this particularly significant time in the debate on pension reform in the UK. We will shortly be making some important announcements on the latest ABI thinking on pensions, based on detailed evidence and research.”
