Previously, Mr. Kovacs served as head of investment technology strategy at Legal & General Investment Management. In this capacity, he played a pivotal role in bridging the gap between investment and technology teams, leading to the successful execution of strategic and tactical projects. His contributions significantly enhanced operational efficiency and scalability.

Mr. Kovacs will report directly to the Head of the Managed Investment Solutions Team, Greg Behar.
