Jane Williams, Managing Director of The Sia Group, has been named the new Chairperson of the Pensions Board. Ms Williams replaces Tiarnan O Mahoney who has served in the role since 2005.
The appointment is with immediate effect.
Minister for Social Protection Éamon Ó Cuív announced the appointment today.
'Jane Williams' wide-ranging business, financial and public sector experience combined with a strong background in policy and strategy development both in Ireland and abroad will bring a considerable level of professional knowledge and practical understanding to the position of Chairperson of this important statutory body, Minister Ó Cuiv said.
The Sia Group is a consultancy practice Ms Williams established in 1988. Sia specialises in enterprise strategy and implementation across a wide range of organisations in both the private and public sector. Ms Williams has just completed a nine month assignment as Chief Executive of Forfás, which she undertook on an interim basis.
The term of office of the remaining members of the Pensions Board ends in December.
