Canada Life UK has appointed Katy Johnston to the newly created role of head of digital transformation.
In her new role Johnston will support the company’s aim of consolidating its position in core markets while also providing a framework where it can more easily build out into new ones.
Johnston joins from Aviva where she held a number of transformation leadership roles across both savings and retirement and general insurance. She has a track record of delivering large scale digital and operational transformation projects and better digital experiences for customers.
Caroline Dibbs, chief operating officer at Canada Life, said: “Katy is joining at such an exciting time for Canada Life and I’m so happy to welcome her to the team. Her knowledge and experience of leading large-scale, complex transformation projects means she is well placed to hit the ground running as we deliver against our strategic priorities.”
Johnston (pictured) added: “It’s a pleasure to join the team in this new role today showing the importance the business is placing on delivering at pace and to help take forward ambitious transformation plans, securing Canada Life’s position as a market leader and innovator.”
