Nucleus has announced current chief risk officer Martin Ettles will take on this role across the combined Nucleus and James Hay platform group.
Ettles joined Nucleus last year in the newly created role to help formulate and implement the platform’s risk strategies.
Prior to joining Nucleus, he spent more than 20 years at Standard Life, shaping his career through various actuarial, compliance, and risk management roles.
Following James Hay’s acquisition of Nucleus last month, a host of senior appointments to the combined leadership team have been announced.
These include Richard Warner (chief operations officer), Alex Kovach (chief commercial officer), Alison Longbottom (chief people officer) and, most recently, Andrew Smith (chief technology officer).
Commenting on the appointment Nucleus group chief executive Richard Rowney said: “Martin brings significant experience in all areas of risk management, built up over two decades in financial services.
“His knowledge of developing risk and compliance frameworks and embedding risk management in decision making will be invaluable as we work to build the leading financial planning and retirement focussed adviser platform.
“He’ll be joining an already dynamic leadership team and I’m delighted to welcome him on board.”
Ettles added: “I’m excited to be part of the next stage of Nucleus’s journey with James Hay. In a rapidly changing world, which faces new opportunities and risks at each turn, the importance of risk informed decision making, and strong risk management can’t be understated, and I look forward to working with the team to lead on this strategy.”
