Soper appointed Pension Regulator's interim chief

Open-access content Thursday 1st August 2013 — updated 4.22pm, Monday 4th May 2020

The Pensions Regulator has appointed Stephen Soper as interim chief executive.

Stephen Soper, currently executive director for defined benefit regulation, will take charge until a permanent replacement is found for Bill Galvin, who left in June.

The regulator's chair Michael O'Higgins said: 'His appointment will ensure we maintain effective leadership and clear accountability while we continue the recruitment process.

'Stephen has substantial experience of senior roles in both the financial services industry and the regulator. I know he will do an excellent job and is supported by a strong and dedicated team.'

Soper has 23 years' experience in multinational financial services organisations. A chartered banker, he began his career at RBS and later worked at Allied Dunbar Group, Zurich Financial Services, Eagle Star and Aon.

He said: 'I look forward to working with the pensions industry, government, and my colleagues at The Pensions Regulator, to ensure that pension schemes are well run, the interests of members and the PPF are protected, and that the roll-out of automatic enrolment continues to progress smoothly.'

Geoff Cruickshank replaces Soper as interim executive director for defined benefit regulation.
