David Ainsworth

David has been with Zellis since October 2020 as Group Finance Director, Control & Operations and is responsible for the central finance function within the Zellis Group, reporting to the CFO.

David has been a Company Nominated Trustee since March 2022.

David has nearly 20 years’ experience in various finance roles and functions, starting as an external auditor with PwC (where he dealt with a large number of pensions scheme accounts audits), before he moved into working in finance teams within large US owned companies/groups, including working for 4 years in Switzerland and 2 years in Germany. During a previous role he gained experience of working with the Trustees of a large DB scheme as Zellis representative and was involved in significant asset and liability management decisions. He therefore brings pensions accounting, valuation and finance expertise to the Trustee Board and is also able to give the Trustees a valuable insight into Zellis’s financial position.

David has two children and his main interests outside of work are attending live sporting events/concerts, and also volunteering his finance skills with local charities.
