Allan Polack new CEO of PFA
PFA’s Supervisory Board has appointed Allan Polack (55) as new CEO of PFA. Allan Polack will take up his new position on 1 April. He comes from Nordea Asset Management where he served as CEO.
Svend Askær, Chairman of PFA’s Supervisory Board, describes the appointment of Allan Polack as a perfect match.
“Allan’s professional background, experience and his set of values fit very well into PFA. This makes Allan Polack the perfect candidate for the position as new CEO of PFA,” says Svend Askær.
Among other things, he emphasises that Allan Polack held the position as CEO of Nordea Liv & Pension and, most recently, CEO of Nordea Asset Management.
“On account of this, Allan is well-prepared for the job bearing in mind his extensive experience of pension and investments. In particular in relation to the pension market, the financial markets and the code of practice that the pension industry is subject to. It is precisely Allan’s strong qualifications within these business areas which placed him in the position as PFA’s new CEO,” says Svend Askær.
The new CEO of PFA refers to the job of leading Denmark’s largest commercial pension company as a dream job.
"There is no doubt that this is my dream job. During recent years, PFA has showed its strength. At the same time, I see PFA's potential for even more. The foundation of PFA is solid and is well underway in an exciting development in a number of areas. Also, I look very much forward to taking part in this process and, hopefully, contributing with my knowledge and experience,” says Allan Polack.
