At Quilter, Verma will replace Nick Sacre-Hardy who assumed the role of acting CRO after Matt Burton stepped down in 2022 owing to health issues.

“My thanks go to Matt Burton for an exemplary job as chief risk officer for nearly four years, which included his impactful campaigning against financial scams. I’m very grateful to Nick Sacre-Hardy for his very effective stewardship of the role while we took our time to select the right long-term successor for the role of chief risk officer,” Levin added.

Commenting on her appointment, Verma said: “I am pleased to be joining Quilter and I am looking forward to playing my part in its future success.” In October last year, Quilter Investors appointed Marisol Hernandez as new head of its responsible investment division.
