Zoe O’Donnell

I am an actuary with 20 years' of pensions consulting experience, advising both pension scheme sponsors and trustees in relation to managing defined benefit (DB) pension scheme liabilities.

I currently specialise in the provision of advice to pension scheme sponsors relating to scheme funding arrangements, pension scheme due diligence and corporate transactions, UK and international accounting disclosures, de-risking, and liability management. I also provide pensions related actuarial expertise in support of both pension scheme and corporate audits.

I’ve worked for schemes ranging from sub £10 million of assets to over £1 billion and have experience of both the public and the private sector.

I have previously been Scheme Actuary to a number of trustee boards, providing advice on all regular statutory requirements as well as guiding them through major scheme changes.

I was also a member of the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries’ (IFoA) scheme funding, employer dividend and covenant leakage working party.
