The new hire has more than 30 years’ experience delivering complex transformation across blue chip financial services organisations.

London-headquartered M&G, an international savings and investments business, has appointed Simon Tasker as chief transformation officer, to lead change and transformation activity across the group, effective 12 January 2026, subject to regulatory approval. He will also become a member of the group executive committee, reporting to Andrea Rossi, chief executive of M&G.

Tasker is a highly experienced transformation leader with over three decades of experience delivering large-scale growth, integration and restructuring in complex, regulated organisations, including Barclays and NatWest (formerly RBS). He was previously a partner at Deloitte and served in senior leadership roles at Credit Suisse, including managing director, head of strategic change, Legal Entity Structuring and Transformation, the firm said in a statement.

Tasker will be succeeding Benoît Macé, who has chosen to leave M&G at the end of the year after more than three years with the company. The firm acknowledged Macé’s contribution to the group’s transformation agenda, as well as his integral role in shaping and negotiating M&G’s long?term strategic partnership with Dai?ichi Life.

“I’m delighted to welcome Simon to M&G. He brings more than 30 years’ experience delivering complex transformation across blue chip financial services organisations,” Rossi said. “His proven ability to drive large scale growth, integration and restructuring in complex, regulated environments makes him an excellent addition to our leadership team as we continue to transform M&G.”
