Isio has appointed Ruth Ormsby as Chief Growth Officer, strengthening its senior leadership team as the firm continues to expand its pensions, wealth & investment and employee benefits business.

In this newly created new role, Ruth will oversee Isio’s overall growth strategy, commercial expansion and client acquisition, working across the firm’s pensions, wealth & investment and employee benefits offerings.

The firm has built a strong reputation and brings together a breadth of expertise across pensions, wealth & investment and employee benefits.
