Keith Binley, who is leaving LexisNexis Risk Solutions to seek other opportunities, will be replaced by Jeffrey Skelton (pictured) as managing director of insurance for UK and Ireland.
Skelton is assuming his new post on July 01, moving from his current position at the data analytics firm as senior vice president of client engagement. The incoming MD has decades of insurance and leadership experience, including more than 17 years at LexisNexis.
“The insurance and auto manufacturing markets are going through substantial changes driven by increasing digitisation, customer demand for more personalised services, and changing environmental risks,” noted Skelton. “Our business is an enabler for these markets – providing the data, analytical skills, and technology to support improved risk decisions.
“And these unique capabilities put us at the forefront of helping our customers develop their business and achieve their goals. The next decade will witness a revolution in how consumers engage with their vehicles and insurers – I look forward to being a part of that engagement story.”
Meanwhile insurance chief executive Bill Madison cited Britain as one of the most dynamic insurance markets, commenting that they are happy to have someone of Skelton’s calibre take the helm in the UK.
Madison added: “Jeffrey is an accomplished leader who brings a sound knowledge of our markets, along with their challenges, opportunities, and regulatory environments, to his new role.
“He has strong relationships with customers and industry alliances, and his ability to work closely with the leaders of the world’s most recognised insurance and auto conglomerates makes him pivotal to all our development in the UK, Ireland, and beyond.”
The appointment will see Skelton relocate to Nottingham from LexisNexis’s Atlanta headquarters.
