Isio appoints Dan Thomas as CEO

Isio has appointed Dan Thomas (pictured) as chief executive officer (CEO), effective from 1st September 2026. 

Thomas has more than two decades of leadership experience in professional services, consulting, outsourcing and growth transformation, including senior roles at KPMG, Dell, Huntswood and the Management Consulting Group. 

He has advised private equity backed businesses on growth strategy, commercial transformation and AI-enabled professional services. 

Most recently, Thomas co-created the go-to-market strategy for Unity Advisory.

Thomas will take over from Andrew Coles, who led Isio through its growth as one of the UK’s fastest-growing pensions, employee benefits, wealth and investment management firms. 

Thomas said: “Isio is a highly respected business with exceptional clients, talented people and strong market fundamentals. 

“The convergence of changing client expectations, technology and long-term structural shifts across pensions, employee benefits, wealth & investment management presents a significant opportunity. 

“What attracted me most was the strength of the platform already built, alongside the opportunity to help lead the business into its next phase of growth.”
