Age: 34

Ryan Gill is chief finance officer at the multi-award-winning UK General Insurance Group, the country’s largest specialist managing general agent. In the course of his career with the company, UK General has grown its gross written premiums from £130m to £380m, and Gill has been instrumental in this growth, culminating in the recent acquisition by UK private equity house JC Flowers, in which he was heavily involved.

Within his first 12 months as CFO, Gill was able to raise £15m of external financing, which enabled the business to not only repay its long-term shareholder debt but also invest in growth initiatives, including technology and distribution capabilities needed to expand UK General’s product and multi-channel offering. He has built a reputation among colleagues, investors and stakeholders for his innovative and commercial approach to problem-solving and strategic vision.

Seeing the immense need for the insurance industry to embrace change and innovate, Gill has played a lead role in guiding UK General’s evolution to becoming a virtual insurer, challenging the traditional insurer model by removing unnecessary costs from the value chain, and driving better value for customers through combining underwriting excellence with first-class capacity and capital.
