A familiar face has taken on a top role at specialist insurer Hiscox.
The UK-arm of the global giant has appointed 20-year insurance veteran Tom Shewry as its new CFO, reporting in to CEO Bob Thaker. Shewry originally joined the firm back in 2018 as director of group finance, and took the CFO role on an interim basis back in September.
According to a release announcing the move, Shewry has since played an important role in continuing to assess Hiscox UK’s ongoing COVID-19 exposures and has successfully completed the 2021 financial planning process for the business.
“Tom has already demonstrated strong leadership of Hiscox UK’s finance organisation during a challenging period,” said Thaker. “He brings deep and valuable experience to the role of CFO and is a welcome addition to our management team as we continue to grow the business while focusing on delivering great service to our customers and brokers.”
