Sara Cook, principal at Barnett Waddingham, has become the new president of the Pensions Management Institute with effect from Wednesday, when the institute’s annual general meeting was held.

Cook has been a PMI vice president and served on its advisory council. She replaces Lesley Alexander, who has stood own after completing her second term of presidency.

Cook joined Barnett Waddingham in 2013. Her focus is on providing governance, secretariat and special projects to support trustee clients. She is also the co-lead of the consultancy’s strategy on the Pensions Regulator’s combined code of practice.

PMI chief executive Gareth Tancred said: “Sara’s wealth of experience and expertise has been invaluable over her many years of service on the advisory council and serving on various board committees. The president is the principal ambassador for the institute, and we very much look forward to continuing to work with her as we finalise and deliver our new strategic plan.”

Rosie Lacey, pensions manager at Kier Group, remains as vice president for another year, while Robert Wakefield, head of pensions administration at First Actuarial, has been elected as PMI’s second vice president.
