RSA board appoints former Prudential boss

Clare Bousfield, the chief executive of Prudential UK from 2016 to 2018, is joining the board of RSA Insurance Group Plc.

The London-headquartered multinational insurer has appointed Bousfield as a non-executive director effective April 01 next year. She will become part of RSA’s group audit committee as well.

Currently, Bousfield is chief financial officer at M&G Plc – the international savings and investment company which split from parent Prudential Plc in October – and is also a non-executive director and audit committee chair at Pacific Life Re Limited.

“I am delighted to welcome Clare to RSA’s board,” commented RSA chairman Martin Scicluna. “Clare is an experienced executive who brings an in-depth understanding of life and health insurance, asset management, and reinsurance.

“We are looking forward to benefitting from Clare’s significant financial experience in the financial services sector as well as her deep understanding of the regulatory environment in the UK.”

Bousfield also brings experience from PwC, Swiss Re, and Aegon.
