Industry expert, Geoff Greensmith, to strengthen senior management team

London, January 2012 - Equifax, already a leading provider of consumer credit and business risk management services, is further investing in its wealth and investment intelligence services in the UK. As well as capitalising on the experience and resources of Equifax Inc wealth data company, IXI Corporation, a senior wealth & investment industry expert has joined the UK management team to support the strategic development of the business.

Geoff Greensmith is joining Equifax UK’s wealth data business as Strategic Development Director of Workload. With a career spanning over 27 years, he brings vast experience and industry knowledge across all the company’s current and target markets.

At Legal & General for 27 years, Geoff’s most recent position was as Head of IFA Wealth Sales. Prior to that, he was Director IFA Platforms and Investment Sales Director at Legal & General Investments.
