David Dalton-Brown is to take over from Tony Vine-Lott as director general of the Tax-Incentivised Saving Association, after the latter stood down from the role last year.
Mr Dalton-Brown has been a non-executive director of Tisa for three years and holds a number of non-executive posts at Barclays, where he was director of Barclays Funds until 2013.
Clive Shelton, deputy chairman and chair of the nomination committee of Tisa, said: “We were pleased to have a number of high quality candidates for this role.
“Ultimately, David’s broad experience of the UK financial marketplace, proven executive track record and knowledge of Tisa and our activities makes him the ideal person to take our organisation forward.”
Mr Dalton-Brown said: “I am delighted to be taking on this role. Tisa has an important role to play in delivering effective policies, products and services to savers in the UK as it has a distinct perspective to both trade associations and consumer groups.
“Our membership, drawn from right across financial services, provides an ideal platform from which to tackle the important challenges that the industry and its customers face.”
Mr Dalton-Brown’s appointment comes after yesterday (21 January) it was revealed his former colleague Trevor Greetham has joined Royal London Asset Management as head of multi-asset.
Mr Greetham is set to leave Fidelity, where he has been head of asset allocation for the past nine years and runs a range of multi-asset funds, at the end of January.
He will join Royal London in April and will be tasked with expanding the firm’s range of multi-asset funds.
