Bridge has worked in financial services for over 30 years and joins from Aviva where he was interim change delivery director within life and pensions.
He has also worked for companies including Bupa Health and Wellbeing where he was director of UK change and technology, and a number of other organisations including Barclays, Invesco Perpetual, Allied Irish Bank, Scottish Widows and Ernst & Young.
In his new role Bridge will assume responsibility for Openwork’s partner facing support functions as well as delivery of Openwork’s strategic change programme including platform delivery.
McIntyre said: “Openwork and its advisers are about to embark on a period of significant change and Paul’s experience of guiding companies through transformations will play a vital role in ensuring our members are fully prepared for the challenges ahead.
“Our recent appointments speak volumes about the business’ ambitions and ability to attract high calibre individuals and I believe Openwork is very well placed to thrive in the coming years.”
Bridge said: “Openwork is a company with a strong sense of where it is going and how it wants to get there. That strategic certainty, and the obvious level of talent and leadership within the business, makes Openwork a compelling proposition and it is with great pleasure that I assume this role at what is a critical time for advisers and the industry in general.”
