wealth management platforms and operational delivery, will further enhance the Board's ability to
oversee the delivery of our strategy.
I would like to extend my sincere thanks to Moira Kilcoyne for her significant contribution to Quilter
during her tenure. Moira's extensive knowledge and expertise in technology strategy, operations, data
and change have been instrumental in enabling effective Board oversight of Quilter's major strategic
transformation programmes. In particular, her leadership as Chair of the Board Technology and
Operations Committee was critical in overseeing the successful implementation of our investment
platform in 2021, a key milestone for the Group. We wish Moira every success in the future."
Notes:
1. Kal Atwal brings deep experience across financial services and broader commercial
businesses, with a career focused on customer-led strategy and leading organisations
through growth and digital transformation. She spent 16 years at BGL Group Limited, where
she held a range of senior roles, including founding Managing Director of
comparethemarket.com and, most recently, Group Director, Brand-led Businesses and
Group Strategy. In this role, she was responsible for the group's strategic direction and brand
development. As a Non-executive Director, she has previously served on the boards of
Admiral Financial Services Limited, The Royal London Mutual Insurance Society Limited and
WH Smith PLC. She has also served as Chair of SimplyCook and Executive Chair of
funkypigeon.com, where she led the successful sale of the businesses. Her deep customer
insight and strategic perspective will be of significant value to Quilter as it continues to pursue
its ambition of becoming a recognised customer champion.

leading the firm's e-commerce division in Europe and later delivering a large-scale technology
transformation programme as Chief Technology Officer. Kan subsequently joined Google,
where he served as Vice President of Engineering for Corporate Engineering. He has
previously served on the board and audit committee of Avantax, Inc, a US-listed financial
