Rosie Harris is joining in April as chair of the board risk committee, George Reid joins the audit and board risk committees this month, and Tim Tookey join as chair of the board audit committee, also in February.

These appointments follow those of Moira Kilcoyne and Cathy Turner in December 2016.

Harris has extensive financial services industry executive and non-executive board level experience.  During her 30 year career she has undertaken a broad range of general management and chief risk officer roles.  She is retiring from her role as chief risk officer UK Life at Aviva plc, a position she has held since 2015 following Aviva’s acquisition of Friends Life. 

Reid started his career in 1987 undertaking various roles and overseas secondments with PricewaterhouseCoopers.  In 1999, he joined Standard Life where he spent seven years in various senior executive roles.  He returned to the accounting profession in 2006 and spent the next 10 years with Ernst & Young UK LLP.  

Tookey has worked at board level in financial services for over 20 years and has been responsible for managing a large number of significant business transformation and strategic projects, mergers and acquisitions.  Most recently, he was chief financial officer of Friends Life Group. Prior to this his roles included six years at Lloyds Banking Group.

Glyn Jones, independent non-executive chairman said: “I am delighted to announce three strong non-executive appointments to the Old Mutual Wealth Board.  Rosie, George and Tim between them bring an enormous depth and breadth of relevant industry and senior management experience, as well as FTSE 100 and other non-executive experience.  These further appointments will help prepare the Old Mutual Wealth business for its managed separation from the Old Mutual Group.”
