The London Pensions Fund Authority (LPFA) has appointed Carol Campbell to become its new director of governance, risk and legal.
Taking on the role in April, she will join from Lothian Pension Fund, where she served as its interim head of legal, advising on governance, regulatory compliance and fiduciary duties across both the fund and its FCA-regulated investment management company.
Prior to this, she held the statutory position of monitoring officer for the City of Edinburgh Council, where she led legal, governance, assurance and risk functions, advising elected members, boards and executive teams on complex and politically sensitive matters.
Commenting on the news, LPFA chief executive Jo Donnelly said: “We are delighted that Carol is joining the LPFA. She brings a wealth of governance and legal expertise, and her background across local government, the LGPS and regulated financial services will play a crucial role in strengthening our assurance and risk capabilities.
“Her experience, judgement and commitment to public accountability will be invaluable as we continue to embed our corporate structure and deliver strong outcomes for our members and stakeholders.”
Campbell added: “I’m delighted to be joining the LPFA at such an important time for the sector. I look forward to supporting strong governance as the LGPS continues to evolve and working with colleagues across the organisation to deliver excellent outcomes for our members and stakeholders.”
