Pension Insurance Corporation plc (PIC), a specialist insurer of defined benefit pension schemes, has announced the appointment of Michael Eakins as its Chief Executive Officer (CEO), subject to regulatory approval.
Dom Veney will continue to lead the company as Interim Chief Executive Officer until Mike formally assumes the role.
Eakins is set to join PIC after the completion of Athora’s acquisition of the company. He will move from Standard Life plc, where he currently serves as Chief Executive Officer of Retirement Solutions and Asset Management, as well as Group Chief Investment Officer.
David Weymouth, Chairman of Pension Insurance Corporation, commented: “I am delighted that Mike will be joining PIC at such an important moment in the evolution of the business. He is a highly regarded leader with deep industry experience.”
Eakins said: “I have long admired what the team at PIC have achieved, so I’m very excited to be joining them as CEO. PIC’s clear sense of purpose is fundamental to the success of the business and is something I want to build on, working with the current leadership team and Athora.”
