Claims management giant Sedgwick has added Tracey Hudson to the company’s UK executive team as chief financial officer.

Hudson joins chief executive Paul White, chief operating officer Neil Gibson, chief client officer Nicola Dryden, and colleague resources head Vicki Cowell – making her the third female within the five-member roster in Britain.

“I look forward to joining such a well-respected team of leaders and colleagues,” Hudson, who has more than two decades of senior and board-level experience, said in a release. “With ambitious growth plans and an impressive setup, Sedgwick was the natural choice for me.”

The new CFO’s credentials include time spent at Lloyds Banking Group, BT Group, and Capita.

John Jenner, Sedgwick’s international chief financial officer, commented: “Tracey is an exceptional addition to Sedgwick; her wealth of experience and expertise in finance will be an asset to our business.

“Her transparent, open approach and keen focus on team development make her an ideal fit for Sedgwick, and she will have a central role to play as we continue accelerating our performance and growth in the UK.”
