Andrew Kail starts as CEO of Legal & General Retail Retirement

Andrew Kail joins LGRR from PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) where he spent 30 years in a wide variety of roles including, most recently, as the Head of Financial Services, where he led a 6,000 strong team in asset & wealth management, banking, insurance, and real estate. Andrew brings a breadth of experience working within the financial services industry in areas including audit, strategy, regulation and technology.

Andrew is exceptionally well-placed to lead the division in its mission to provide the best retirement solutions to customers, across its retirement income, workplace savings, personal investment, lifetime mortgages and care solutions businesses. Andrew’s ambition is to take the L&G retirement proposition from its already strong market leading position to become the number one UK retirement business, engaging with our customers and helping them to have a colourful retirement. Andrew and the team will also explore international growth opportunities, following the division’s investment in Australian lifetime mortgage business Household Capital in 2020.

His appointment comes after a positive start to the year for LGRR, with the announcement of its pension tracing & consolidation service, and the launch of the Care Concierge Service, helping people understand, find and fund later life care.

Andrew will also support the wider Group’s strategy of inclusive capitalism. In particular, he will play a role in the Group’s work to meet the climate challenge, and the social inequalities arising from our ageing society; working to improve the lives of our customers whilst also building a better society for the long term and creating value for our shareholders.
