Aegon has appointed Nick Roy as commercial director, a newly-created senior leadership role within the business.
Roy has been with Aegon for over 20 years and has held several senior roles, most recently as director, client and partnership development.
He will continue to lead the workplace channel and drive the growth of the DC business, reporting to chief distribution officer, Ronnie Taylor.
Taylor said: “As we continue to drive forward our transformation of Aegon into a leading digital savings and retirement platform, Nick coming into this new role accelerates the momentum.

“Just last month the announcement of Aegon’s intention to partner with the British Business Bank highlights our capabilities, as we offer workplace savers access to innovative investment opportunities that have previously been not possible via DC pensions.”
Roy added: “I’m honoured to take on this new role. Leading our workplace business – with an ambitious and customer focused team around me – over the past year has been highly rewarding as we’ve surpassed so many targets. The propositional delivery over the past 12 months alone has been substantial.
“Our award-winning collaboration with The Pension Lab delivering an innovative solution to workplace members to help them track down and compare old pots, the significant enhancements to our Member Insights for employers helping them better understand their employees’ savings needs, and of course the ongoing digital enhancements to the customer experience has moved our offering into a premier position.”
