Before joining NEST, Zoe was a civil servant for over a decade, in a variety of roles. She was Private Secretary to the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions during the passage of the legislation that established automatic enrolment; wrote the funding strategy that helped set up NEST; and led the Treasury programme that set up the national pensions guidance service, Pension Wise.
Zoe chairs the Pensions & Lifetime Savings Association’s Master Trust Committee, the primary voice of the Master Trust Sector in the UK. She has acted as an advisor to the charity Money and Mental Health and is a trustee and non-executive director of the homelessness charity Emmaus SLC.
