SPP President

Sophia is a partner and Head of DC at XPS Pensions Group. She joined XPS Pensions Group in June 2020 to lead their DC business. Prior to that she led Aon’s DC Consulting business. She has over 25 years’ experience in the UK pensions industry and advises corporates and trustees across all areas of their DC schemes including optimising benefit design, developing investment solutions, improving member engagement and ensuring effective scheme governance.

She is a well-known industry and media commentator on DC market developments and feels passionately that we must tackle short-term financial resilience as well as deliver better long-term retirement products, if we’re going to help today’s workforce to retire with the security and lifestyle they want.

Outside of work Sophia runs a Girlguiding group, is a Trustee of a foodbank and refugee charity and spends the remainder of her spare time playing tennis and walking her 2 energetic dogs.
