Martin Stead
Chair of the Remuneration Committee and Customer Innovation Committee
I am delighted to have joined Simplyhealth’s board, because I believe in the power of people and ideas to change the world for the better and I have a passion to work in mission-driven organisations that deliver a positive societal impact.
I have leadership experience and a track record of delivering growth across a range of industry sectors, from packaged goods to energy to financial services. As CEO of FinTech Nutmeg, I scaled up the business to become the largest digital wealth manager in Europe with over 100,000 customers and billions of assets under management, improving access to high-quality investments. I’m also the co-founder of ClimateTech start-up ZeroBees.com, and sustainable wine e-retailer Collectivino.com.
Simplyhealth’s purpose – to provide access to better health care for all in the UK – is as relevant today as it was 150 years ago when the company was founded and I look forward to supporting the company with its innovation and growth plans as a non-executive director.
