Director of Plan Consulting

Emily Knox brings more than 20 years of group retirement plan experience to her role as RPA’s Director of Plan Consulting. Her ongoing focus is for all public sector employees to realize retirement readiness through education, investment awareness, and the importance of saving.

Emily began her career in the public sector in 2004 as a client services manager, providing educational workshops and individual investment planning to retirement plan participants.

In 2005, she joined a large recordkeeper as a retirement plan specialist providing onsite service and support to plan participants and employers.  She fostered productive relationships with key stakeholders, managed a team of six retirement plan educators, onboarded new plan participants, and assisted in plan reporting metrics, including service satisfaction.

In 2022, Emily continued her work serving the public sector as she joined one of the largest insurance companies in their retirement plans division. Here she acted as a financial resource to existing and potential plan participants, providing counseling and guidance on defined contribution retirement plans while expanding retirement readiness services.

In 2025, Emily joined RPA, with a focus on supporting plan sponsor clients – their plan health, financial wellness offerings, and employee retirement outcomes – in a fiduciary capacity.

Emily graduated from Rutgers University with highest honors. She holds the Certified Retirement Counselor (CRC) and Qualified Plan Financial Consultant (QPFC) designations.
