Boyle gets dream gig

David Boyle, who has had a strong focus on retirement savings during his extensive experience in the public and private sectors, has been appointed as Retirement Commissioner.

Commerce Minister Cameron Brewer says Boyle “played a key role in establishing KiwiSaver at ING and is currently the general manager of KiwiSaver at Fisher Funds.

“With our much-loved Baby Boomers now somewhere between 62 and 80 years of age, issues around retirement savings and caring for our seniors are only growing in prominence. Likewise, the role of the Retirement Commissioner continues to increase in importance.

Boyle has also previously worked at the Retirement Commission with a focus on improving financial wellbeing, monitoring of retirement villages, and leading the initial development of the Commission’s ‘Sorted in Schools’ financial education programme.
