Appointed as director of distribution & marketing, Davies is moving up from his role as HDIG UK & Ireland distribution head. He will have direct supervision of the broker strategic relationship managers while reporting to HDIG UK & Ireland managing director Stephanie Ogden.
“I am delighted to be taking on this new role at what is an important time for our business,” commented Davies, who joined from Allianz in 2020. “These changes deliver on our commitment to our partners and present one face to the market.
“The new structure will streamline our ability to manage our trading relationships in the UK and Ireland and will allow us to deploy risk capital where our clients need our expertise.”
The merging of the distribution and marketing functions will take effect on January 1, 2023. Meanwhile John Button will continue to serve as head of global distribution and business development for HGS.
“This is an exciting time for our company,” said Ogden, whose camp will also be appointing a marketing head for the UK and Ireland. “These changes demonstrate to the market the importance we place on our business relationships.
“It shows we listen and will take the necessary steps to deliver a consistent proposition by putting our partners at the heart of our decisions.”
