There is a new man who will help drive business forward at legal expenses insurer DAS, in the form of Gerry Cox, the company’s incoming finance chief.
Taking up the CFO post in June, Cox has been promoted due to his contributions to the company, according to DAS CEO Andrew Burke.
“There is a clear mandate from the owners to drive the business forward and I’m looking forward to working with Andrew and the team to deliver the plans they have in place.” Cox said.
“With a strong capital position and excellent client relationships, the company is well positioned for future success,” he added.
Cox joins DAS from its parent company,
Munich Re, where he is currently the CFO of its African operations.
“Gerry’s experience will support our medium term plans to deliver market leading propositions and profitable growth,” Burke said, welcoming Cox to the management team.
“We will be working closely together as DAS executes on its strategy to provide access to justice and the best possible service to all of its personal and commercial clients.”
Cox will replace Thomas Jannakos, who is returning to Germany to become the CFO of DAS International. He will be responsible for finance across all of the company’s overseas business including DAS UK.
