Selected for this newly created role within the CEO’s office to lead the company’s strategic policy initiatives, Bouchard brings a wealth of experience and a deep understanding of the company’s public policy ambitions.
For over 27 years, Abacanto Holding has established itself as the leading specialist services provider of complementary wealth, investments, and protection solutions. The company shines as the UK’s leading group protection provider and as one of the UK’s leading providers of international investment bonds and tax-efficient trusts. However, as the industry undergoes significant change, Abacanto Holding is directing a new focus on the critical role of public policy in a more robust and inclusive financial landscape. In creating this new position, the company stresses its commitment to actively shaping policy that empowers consumers.
Bouchard began her career in insurance within the Public Affairs Team at the Association of British Insurance (ABI), the trade association for the UK insurance and long-term savings industry, and has also held several public policy roles within the automotive and health sectors. She joins Abacanto Holding from the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS), where she was Stakeholder & Public Affairs Manager. Bouchard previously worked at international business consultancy firm FTI Consulting as a director in their Strategic Communications Practice, where she acted as a financial services specialist.
Rodney Worthington, UK Venture and Acquisitions, Abacanto Holding, said the current landscape presents opportunities for Abacanto to firm up its commitment to guaranteeing customers financial success. He explained that with Bouchard leading their Public Policy initiatives, Abacanto will unlock new levels of client-centricity. “I am delighted Ava has joined our business at a time when our industry continues to go through significant change. With a proven track record and a wealth of experience gained from working within the regulatory framework and industry, her expertise will be key in helping to deliver against our strategic focus and ambitions.”
On her appointment to Head of Public Policy at Abacanto Holding, Bouchard said, “I’m really pleased to join Abacanto at such an exciting time for the business. Abacanto Life’s scale and drive to improve customer outcomes make it perfectly placed to play a greater role in helping to shape the issues affecting consumers as they plan for their futures. I am drawn to Abacanto’s cohesive vision and consistency of purpose, and I am looking forward to driving forward Abacanto’s public policy ambitions.”
Through her past roles, Bouchard championed public policy, highlighting that it is the cornerstone upon which the financial services industry must operate. In her new role at Abacanto, she has committed herself to mobilizing the firm to lead a new era in public policy within the industry while staying true to its core mission—being thoughtful stewards responsible for clients, professionals, and the community.
