NatWest’s Cushon welcomes Ellen Louw as new CFO

Louw joins Cushon from publisher Reach and, before that, American Express

In brief:

- Workplace pension and savings fintech Cushon made a significant appointment following its acquisition by high street bank NatWest completed in June.

- Ellen Louw's background also includes roles at WorldRemit, where she was head of commercial finance and corporate development, and American Express.

- In November the company became the largest signatory of the Mansion House Compact, a voluntary commitment by DC pension funds to allocate at least 5 per cent of their default funds to unlisted equities by 2030.

What does that mean?

“Cushon’s commitment to ensuring the best outcomes for both its members and the environment is very compelling, along with having established itself as a leader in the pensions space — a sector often criticised for its lack of innovation,” Louw said on her appointment. “It’s an exciting time for the business — I'm looking forward to joining a dynamic leadership team focussed on helping Cushon continue to drive positive change for savers."
