ActiveQuote chief operations officer Rod Jones is leaving the business after almost eight years.
The move comes as the integration with parent company Howden is set to be completed this weekend – almost two years since the purchase was announced.
As part of the takeover of the Cardiff-based advice firm in August 2024, Jones was promoted to COO and played a key role in the integration.
Jones (pictured) confirmed he will be taking leave over the summer before seeking new opportunities in the sector in October.
He has spent more than 25 years in the insurance advice, distribution and related financial services sector.
His previous roles included five years with USwitch, two years with GoCompare and a year with Towergate.
‘Growing sustainable businesses’
Writing on LinkedIn, Jones said: “This weekend marks a significant milestone for ActiveQuote as the business completes the final stage of its migration project, bringing to a close an incredible chapter in the company’s history.
“With the migration project now completing this weekend, my own chapter at ActiveQuote also comes to an end.”
Jones credited the teams he had worked with at the organisation and thanked colleagues, partners and customers for their support, friendship and the many shared successes.
“Throughout my career, I’ve never been driven by a job title,” he continued.
“What has always motivated me is building and growing sustainable businesses, developing great people, improving customer outcomes and creating meaningful partnerships.
“That’s what I’d like to continue doing in the next chapter.
“From October onwards I’ll be exploring new opportunities where I can bring those experiences to a new team and organisation,” he added.
