The Money and Pensions Service (MaPS) has announced the appointment of Angela Pober as Implementation Director of the Pensions Dashboards Programme, as well as appointing Capgemini, a global leader in consulting, technology services and digital transformation, to support on the business case and roadmap.

Pensions Dashboards will ensure people throughout the UK have easy access to key information about what pensions they have, who manages them and what they are worth, revolutionising how people engage with their pensions throughout their lives.

Angela will lead the Implementation Executive of the Pensions Dashboards Programme (PDP) with day to day responsibility for the delivery of the technology that will enable dashboards to work. She will be responsible for developing detailed plans and driving delivery of the PDP business plan through the leadership of the Implementation Executive.

Angela brings seasoned expertise and insight to the PDP, spending the last 15 years in the financial services sector delivering large and complex change and IT programmes, most recently working with Deloitte and PwC.

The first task for Angela as Implementation Director will be to establish the Implementation Executive and project governance working closely with the PDP Principal, Chris Curry.

A key first step for PDP will be to produce a plan for how the dashboard architecture and data standards will be developed with industry, and schemes brought on board over the next 3-4 years. PDP has appointed Capgemini to work with senior management in producing a roadmap and business case for the technology that will enable dashboards to work.

In parallel the Money and Pensions Service will begin work to design, test and build a consumer facing dashboard, working closely with the PDP. It’s vital that extensive user testing will feed into the data and other standards work that the PDP will be developing for all dashboards.

Angela Pober, Implementation Director of the Pensions Dashboards Programme, said: “Pensions Dashboards are at the heart of providing people with information about their financial provisioning once they finish work and I am excited to be driving this project forward over the next two years, knowing that its aim is to fundamentally change for the better the way we all save towards our retirement”.
