The ABI has appointed Peter Jolly as Assistant Director, Consumers and Distribution Reform. Peter joins the ABI from Standard Life, where he was Head of Distribution Policy, and takes over from Alex Roy, who has left to take up a new post outside the insurance industry.
Maggie Craig, the ABI’s Director of Life and Savings and Director of Consumer Strategy, said: “We are delighted to appoint an industry expert of Pete’s calibre to the ABI team. Pete has over 20 years experience of the industry with three major companies and has worked in sales, strategy and distribution. His appointment reflects the importance that the ABI, and the whole insurance industry, places on ensuring that consumers are at the heart of all we do.
“A key part of Pete Jolly’s role will be to lead the ABI’s work on implementing the Retail Distribution Review, making sure that it succeeds in delivering high quality, appropriate advice to as wide a range of consumers as possible. Pete’s knowledge of the life industry will stand him in very good stead in taking this work forward, and in developing the ABI’s Consumer Strategy.”
Peter Jolly said: “I’m very pleased to have been given this opportunity to take forward the ABI’s important work on improving customer experiences of insurance. It will be a challenging role, at a particularly challenging time for the whole financial services sector, and I look forward to using my experience in the best interests of the ABI’s member companies and, most importantly, their customers.”
