Claire de Thierry FIA

Claire is a member of our national Pensions Management team.  She has worked in the pensions industry for more than 20 years in various different guises.

She spent most of her professional career to date as a pensions actuary, holding a number of Scheme Actuary appointments. She chose to “retire” as an actuary when her son was born and decided to return to the industry as a governance specialist.

Claire has always been interested in governance as the breadth of topics it covers is wide and interesting. As a Scheme Actuary, Claire’s clients were mainly the trustees of defined benefit schemes.

She now undertakes a full range of governance-related work within the Pensions Management team and is heavily involved in developing materials to help clients run their schemes in line with the Regulator’s expectations.

Significant experience: 

• Claire has held a number of Scheme Actuary appointments and has been heavily involved in the winding up of two of her schemes, including dealing with various obstacles that arose along the way
• she has drafted a significant number of effective member communications and trustee resources
• she is very approachable, meaning that people feel able to ask what might be (and what usually aren’t) silly questions
