Freda Mensah

Assistant Scheme Manager

Role

Freda is a member of our specialist Pension Protection Fund (PPF) team.

Background & experience

Freda’s first pensions role was as an administrator of Ghana’s National Social Security Pension Scheme where she reviewed and processed pensions, assembled claims and organised payment of dependants’ benefits. She then developed her studies in the UK, taking an MBA.

Freda came back to pensions in 2014, continuing her career with us. She is experienced in managing pension schemes through PPF assessment and has also worked on a PPF plus buyout case. She helps the team maintain compliance with regulatory and internal control procedures such as AAF.

Freda has grown and gained valuable experience within the industry and is developing her own portfolio of cases.

Freda travelled solo to Benin in West Africa to develop her passion for learning French. She enjoys being of help and meeting new people and occasionally volunteers with a homeless charity.
