Christina Pollock

Christina joined Milford as a Communications and Client Experience Manager in 2022 after a career in journalism, public relations and marketing. Her past roles transcended a wide range of sectors, including not-for-profits, fuelled by a desire to keep learning new things. The opportunity to work in a corporate environment that also ticked the ‘heart’ box, was too good to pass up. “Throughout my career I’ve always tried to choose organisations that align with my values and my desire to make a difference,” she says.

“I was attracted to Milford through its reputation as an extremely professional organisation that genuinely cares about its people. That professionalism and caring attitude extends into the Foundation, and I’m delighted to be a part of a company that is actively improving the lives of Kiwis and this beautiful country we live in. I’m amazed at what the Foundation has achieved in such a short time, and it’s a privilege to be a part of the next step on this amazing journey.

Jo Fleming

A true advocate for Milford and the Milford Foundation, Jo brings 18 years of NZ and UK Financial Services experience to the People and Culture team. Attracting, retaining and developing best-in-class talent for Milford are core aspects of Jo’s role, and while technical expertise is non-negotiable, alignment with values is what really makes the team at Milford unique.

“The opportunity to contribute to Milford’s philanthropic legacy is a huge privilege. The purpose is what drives us all, and given the values and aspirations of Milford are equally important in the ethos of the Milford Foundation, our team are passionate about both. A high-performance culture means the Milford team aspire to deliver exceptional results. This is true for our clients, and true for the Milford Foundation. In addition to financial support, physically and emotionally partnering with our charities creates deeper connections and meaningful, sustainable impact. I couldn’t be prouder of the difference we have already made and what is yet to come.”

Mark Rosevear

Mark has been with Milford for over 6 years and heads up the Investor Services team. He and his team are focussed on giving great client service to our KiwiSaver and Investment Fund clients and is delighted to be doing the same for our Milford Foundation members.

Mark is thrilled to be involved in helping the Foundation get established – “I already thought Milford was a great company to work for, but the initiative to create the Foundation and leave a lasting legacy for future generations was truly inspiring. It made me stop and consider how fortunate so many of us are and how it was now time to start giving back . There’s a definite excitement that the Foundation will be Milford’s proudest achievement.”

Richard Pilley

Richard is a wealth management professional with over 20 years’ experience advising wealthy individuals and institutions. This has involved helping charitable institutions with their investment strategy and guiding them through the investment landscape. In addition to advising on their investment requirements, Richard believes more can be done to help charities by professionals like himself and organisations like Milford, and therefore he jumped at the chance to get involved with the Milford Foundation. He firmly believes this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to make a real difference to New Zealand and New Zealanders.
