Ruth Maloney

Risk and Compliance Director

Ruth began her career in pensions in 1996 as a trainee consultant with a Birmingham‑based firm, gaining experience in defined benefit schemes and group pensions. She went on to work with national consultancy practices, developing broad expertise across corporate client services.

After a career break to raise her family, Ruth returned to the industry as a SIPP administrator before progressing into senior roles within independent financial services. She later specialised in compliance, leading a department and implementing robust systems and controls for a medium‑sized financial services company.

Ruth joined the Westerby Group in 2021 as Senior Compliance Officer, overseeing compliance across the organisation. Her leadership and strategic insight soon led to her appointment to the Board of Directors as Risk and Compliance Director, where she continues to play a key role in governance and operational excellence across the Westerby Group.
