  • Proven experience in a Business Development leadership role in the insurance or financial services sectors.
  • Deep knowledge of broker and intermediary distribution models as well as commercial insurance products.
  • Strong understanding of FCA regulations, including delivery of Consumer Duty outcomes.
  • Excellent communication skills, with an ability to lead, inspire, and develop high-performing teams.
