These attributes will prove invaluable in his new role as CFO. In addition, we look forward to Tom managing the essential functions associated with group finance, including cash and capital management, solvency, reserving, actuarial and rating agency matters.”

“Tom joins us at an exciting time in our growth”, added Alan Quilter, group chief executive officer and interim CFO. “His experience will be critical as we seek to capitalize on the current “hard” market in both our program management and legacy businesses, particularly following our recent $100 million equity raise.
