The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has completed its senior structure in supervision by appointing Nick Poyntz-Wright as director of long-term savings and pensions.
The structure was created in April this year and Poyntz-Wright has been the acting director in his role since that time.
Three other appointments were made with Karina McTeague as director of retail banking, Linda Woodall as director of mortgages and consumer lending and William Amos as director of wholesale banking and investment management.
Clive Adamson, FCA director of supervision, said: "I am delighted to have appointed McTeague, Poyntz-Wright, Amos and Woodall to the supervision division.
"They bring a wealth of industry and regulatory experience and will strengthen the leadership of the organisation. These appointments also provide more management depth to help us take forward the FCA's agenda in the diverse sectors that they will lead."
Poyntz-Wright's role starts immediately and all four of the new directors will report to Adamson.
He joined the Financial Services Authority (FSA) in September 2011 and previously worked as chief executive of Skandia UK for six years.
