LPFA appoints Carol Campbell to Senior Leadership Team

London, 18 March 2026 

The London Pensions Fund Authority (LPFA) has appointed Carol Campbell as its new Director of Governance, Risk and Legal.  

Carol starts her role in mid-April 2026, following the completion of an 18-month interim role at Lothian Pension Fund (LPF), where she served as Interim Head of Legal, advising on governance, regulatory compliance and fiduciary duties across both LPF and its FCA-regulated investment management company.  

Carol previously held the statutory position of Monitoring Officer for the City of Edinburgh Council, where she led legal, governance, assurance and risk functions, advising elected members, boards and executive teams on complex and politically sensitive matters. 

Jo Donnelly, CEO of the LPFA, welcomed the appointment saying “We are delighted that Carol is joining the LPFA. She brings a wealth of governance and legal expertise, and her background across local government, the Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) and regulated financial services will play a crucial role in strengthening our assurance and risk capabilities. Her experience, judgement and commitment to public accountability will be invaluable as we continue to embed our corporate structure and deliver strong outcomes for our members and stakeholders.”  

Carol Campbell said: “I’m delighted to be joining the LPFA at such an important time for the sector. I look forward to supporting strong governance as the LGPS continues to evolve and working with colleagues across the organisation to deliver excellent outcomes for our members and stakeholders.”  

Carol’s appointment further enhances the LPFA’s senior leadership capacity as the organisation continues to evolve within a changing pensions and regulatory landscape.
