  • Hertfordshire, UK

Mike is an experienced Pension Trustee Chair and Non-Executive Director, bringing extensive executive leadership experience across pensions and investment management. His roles benefit from a strong history of delivering long-term value for pension schemes and their members through governance, investment strategy and stakeholder engagement.

As the first Chief Executive of the Pensions Infrastructure Platform (PiP), Mike established a £1bn infrastructure investment manager focused on Core UK projects. Under his leadership, the platform secured over £1bn in commitments and invested in a range of assets including PFI hospitals, social housing, renewable energy, and large-scale engineering projects.

He currently chairs the pension schemes of Nuffield Health and the Institute of Cancer Research, where he balances governance with an appreciation of the schemes’ charitable missions. Both schemes are nearing full funding following the successful implementation of investment, governance, and recovery strategies, and are now exploring long-term run-on approaches.

Mike brings wide-ranging knowledge of all pension investment asset classes and risk management, with a particular current focus on private markets. He holds NED roles with a UK venture capital manager affiliated with the British Business Bank, and with Wayhome, a provider of UK affordable housing.

A familiar voice in the industry, Mike is a regular speaker at conferences and events. His insights are grounded in firsthand experience, notably as Chief Executive of LGPS Central, one of the UK’s largest Local Government Pension Scheme pooling organisations. During his time there, he supported over 1 million scheme members across 2000 employers, growing assets under management to nearly £30bn and broadening the investment fund offering while driving cultural and operational transformation.

Mike continues to apply his strategic insight and collaborative leadership style to help schemes navigate an increasingly complex pensions landscape.
