Managing general agent (MGA) Rokstone has appointed Jo Lambe as digital product development manager.
As digital product development manager, Lambe will be responsible for the digital transformation of the company’s existing products, as well as for leading the development of new native digital products.
The appointment is part of Aventum Group’s multi-million pound investment in the digital transformation of its companies, of which Rokstone is one. A release also said that further appointments are expected in the coming months.
Lambe brings over 20 years of underwriting complex commercial insurance to her new role. She joins from Simply Business, where she served as an underwriter for nine years and as a technical MGA manager. She has also spent time at Aviva as a commercial underwriter and at Ecclesiastical as an underwriter.
“We’re delighted to welcome Jo on board. She’s joining us on an exciting journey as we continue our growth and in particular our digital transformation strategy. Jo is highly experienced and is passionate about digital solutions,” said Aventum chief digital distribution officer Tony Lawrence. “As part of the digital underwriting team, she will be helping us to execute a multi-country, multi-product roadmap, while diving deep to understand customer needs, market practices, and product financials to structure and negotiate partnerships that drive value to customers, partners, and Aventum.”
“I’ve been incredibly lucky in my career to work for some of the best brands in the market, leading the way in digital underwriting. Aventum is an incredibly attractive proposition; it has a great culture and is on an exciting path,” commented Lambe on her appointment. “I relish the opportunity to join such a fast growing, entrepreneurial, highly focussed team and to be a part of that journey at a stage where I can really add value working on major transformational projects.”
In October, Rokstone launched a new terrorism facility with “A” rated capacity in the UK. The new product will be available to brokers through iSure, Aventum Group’s digital distribution platform.
