Gareth McKenna

I am a Senior Consultant at LCP Ireland with more than 25 years of experience advising employers on corporate pension strategy and governance. I work closely with organisations to navigate the evolving pensions landscape, helping them manage regulatory change, improve member outcomes, and deliver effective retirement solutions.

As a specialist in Defined Contribution pensions, I advise clients on key industry developments including IORP II compliance, the transition to master trusts, and the implementation of Ireland's auto-enrolment framework. I have supported numerous employers through pension scheme transitions, providing strategic guidance on provider selection, governance requirements, and implementation planning.

Following the move to master trusts, I continue to provide ongoing oversight and contract management support, helping clients ensure they receive strong service, value for money, and positive member experiences from their chosen provider. My work combines technical expertise with a practical, client-focused approach, making me a trusted adviser to employers managing complex pension and workplace savings arrangements.

I lead consulting engagements that help organisations balance governance, member engagement, and operational efficiency, ensuring pension arrangements remain fit for purpose in a rapidly changing regulatory environment. My collaborative style and deep market knowledge enable clients to confidently navigate change and achieve better outcomes for both their business and their employees.
