 Smart, the London-headquartered fintech transforming the global retirement savings market, is pleased to announce the appointment of Josef Pilger as Senior Adviser.

Josef has demonstrated a longstanding commitment to advancing financial wellbeing for citizens worldwide, playing a key role in supporting the development, design, and implementation of effective and enduring systems that meet the growing global demand for financial security in retirement. This experience marries perfectly with the progress of Smart’s Keystone technology, enabling government and financial services clients across the globe to digitally transform workplace retirement systems.

Josef Pilger brings over 30 years of experience in the global retirement and pensions industry, with his most recent role as EY’s Global Pension and Retirement Leader. During his tenure, he worked with governments and financial institutions across 30 countries, advising on pension reform and retirement system strategies. Prior to EY, Josef held senior roles, including COO Retirement at a pension fund master trust and pension trustee director, adding to his extensive expertise in governance and pension management.

Josef is uniquely placed in his understanding of pensions reform, asset management, governance, transformational change and member engagement. His extensive experience in supporting informed decisions and policy reforms across multiple countries has involved close collaboration with political, policy, regulatory, and industry leaders.

An established expert, speaker, and author on pensions and retirement, Josef brings a wealth of knowledge and practical experience to his new role at Smart. As retirement systems and policies evolve globally, Josef will ensure that Smart’s Keystone platform remains at the forefront of this change. 

Andrew Evans, Co-Founder and Group CEO of Smart, said:

"We are thrilled to welcome Josef to Smart. His extensive experience in global pensions and retirement systems will be instrumental in helping us navigate the ever-changing landscape of retirement savings and ensuring our Keystone platform remains at the cutting edge, delivering for our partners and their citizens and customers across the globe."
