Local Pensions Partnership Investments (LPPI) has reorganised its data and technology function, creating three dedicated teams and promoting two staff members to newly created leadership roles.

LPPI, an FCA-authorised alternative investment fund manager (AIFM) for Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) funds, said the changes took effect on 1 October 2026 and follow the addition of six partner funds earlier this year.

The restructure was intended to support its increased scale and its work for partner funds.

Assets under management stood at around £60bn as at 30 September 2026, according to LPPI.

The data and technology function is now organised into three teams covering technology, cyber security and data.

Arif Mohammed has been promoted to head of technology and will oversee LPPI's technology platform, service desk and a new artificial intelligence (AI) and automation team responsible for supporting the use of AI across the business.

Carl Jeffreys has been promoted to head of cyber security, overseeing cyber risk and ensuring security is embedded in new technologies and third-party supplier relationships.

Adil Msatfa will continue to lead LPPI's data team, overseeing data management, investment performance reporting and portfolio analytics.

Commenting on the changes, LPPI chief data and technology officer, Joe Webster, said: “LPPI has experienced significant growth this year, and the evolution of our data and technology function reflects our commitment to ensuring we have the right capabilities in place to support our partner funds as we continue to scale.”

He said the new three-team structure would strengthen their ability to “manage data, maintain secure and resilient systems, and embrace emerging technologies”, including taking a “considered approach” to AI adoption.
