NYCGB Alumna Naomi took over as Managing Director of 20-20 Trustees in January 2019, having been a Director there for five years. The company work as Professional Trustees for pension schemes, helping make sure the funds are looked after and their members get paid the right benefits. Naomi got there via a law degree (and choral scholarship!) at Cambridge, a masters in European law in Brussels, ten years as a pension lawyer in the City, a secondment to Government designing powers to stop organisations from abandoning their pensioners; and then heading up the legal team at the Pension Protection Fund (which picks up the pieces where companies can’t, rather than won’t, keep those promises). Her company recently won two awards for Independent Trustee Firm of the Year.
