She joins from Invesco where she was EMEA head of diversity & inclusion since 2018 and established the company’s inclusion and diversity programme.

She joined Invesco as EMEA operations governance manager in 2015. Previously she also worked at discretionary investment manager Courtiers Investment Services as head of acquisitions and head of sales and operations. She also held several roles during ten years at Perpetual Unity Trust Management including involvement in the integration of the Perpetual and Invesco businesses.

At Aegon Asset Management she will engage internally on inclusion and diversity issues as well as advocating for change externally.

Based in the UK, she will hold global responsibility for inclusion and diversity across Aegon Asset Management.

Jane Daniel, global chief risk & compliance officer, said: “We are committed to embracing inclusion and diversity and affecting positive, enduring change. Becoming more inclusive and diverse is not only a key objective for our business but a duty to the societies in which we live and work.

“By establishing this new role, we ensure dedicated resource and co-ordination for our inclusion and diversity agenda, both internally and externally, and underscore the importance of inclusion and diversity to our organization. Ensuring we create a strategic and consistent approach to all inclusion and diversity initiatives will accelerate our efforts and also serve to boost and expand on the significant work of our inclusion and diversity teams to date. I would like to congratulate Lindsay on her appointment, and warmly welcome her to Aegon Asset Management.”
