Alongside this, she acts as Scheme Manager, serving as the key point of contact for advisers and overseeing all aspects of governance. Her work is underpinned by a strong background as a Scheme Secretary, where she previously delivered a broad range of services from minute-taking to outsourced pensions management. She also provides independent scheme secretary services to one of the UK’s major charity pension schemes.

Beyond her scheme responsibilities, Anne plays a significant role in the development of Pi’s Sole Trustee governance framework. Drawing on her experience in building practical governance solutions, she has been instrumental in streamlining and centralising Pi’s internal policies in line with the General Code of Practice. This ensures a pragmatic, proportionate, and consistent approach to compliance across the trustee team. Anne has also led the advancement of Pi’s online governance platform, strengthening oversight while delivering operational efficiencies and cost savings for clients.
