John Bissell is to retire from his role as chief operating officer (COO) and board member of the Chartered Insurance Institute (CII) in early April after more than six years with the organisation.
In that time he has also held the roles of director of CII Hong Kong, CII Middle East, CII Enterprises and trustee of the CII’s Prize Fund.
The CII added that plans are currently being developed to cover Bissell’s responsibilities both in the short and longer-term.
After a short break Bissell plans to extend his non-executive director and trustee portfolio work.
His time in the industry includes spells at Lloyds of London, Capita Insurance Services, Miller Insurance Services, Capgemini, and almost 25 years at Commercial Union and Aviva.
Alan Vallance, group CEO of the CII, said: “I would like to thank John for supporting me over my first six months in post. He is a respected, long-standing servant of the CII and we wish him well for the future.”
