LGPS Central has confirmed two senior leadership appointments, further strengthening its executive team as the pool continues to grow and evolve.
Nicola Dymond (pictured) has been appointed chief operations and technology officer, joining LGPS Central from the Church Commissioners for England, where she served as chief operating Officer.
Dymond brings more than two decades of experience across asset management operations, technology, strategy, and large-scale transformation, including previous senior roles at Railpen and SEI Investments.
In her new role, Dymond will oversee LGPS Central’s technology and operational functions, delivering a clear vision and strategy that supports innovation, enables strong investment outcomes and enhances digitally enabled services and insights for partner funds.
She will ensure “robust controls and excellent value for shareholders and clients”, while aligning technology and operations with the organisation’s strategic objectives, regulatory obligations and Partner Fund requirements.
Dymond will also play a central role in strengthening operational resilience, driving innovation and improving efficiency across the business, positioning LGPS Central for long-term success.
Dymond said: “I’m delighted to have joined the fantastic team at LGPS Central at such an exciting and important time. In a short space of time, it’s already clear that we are building on strong foundations, with great people, a clear sense of purpose and an approach to innovation that is firmly focused on delivering for partner funds.”
And she added: “I’m really looking forward to supporting the next phase of our journey, strengthening our technology, data and operational capabilities in ways that add real value for our stakeholders and support long-term success”.
LGPS Central has also appointed David Kane as permanent chief finance officer (CFO), following his period as interim CFO.
Kane has been with LGPS Central since its inception and has been instrumental in building the organisation’s finance function and maintaining strong financial governance throughout its growth.
A Chartered Public Finance Accountant, he brings more than 20 years’ experience in public sector finance and pensions.
Richard Law-Deeks, chief executive officer of LGPS Central, said: “These appointments are an important step in delivering our Fit for the Future strategy. As LGPS Central continues to evolve, it is critical that we have the right leadership in place to strengthen our operating platform, invest in resilient and scalable technology, and maintain the highest standards of financial governance.”
