International Medical Group (IMG) has appointed Susan Yates as chief customer officer.
Yates (pictured) joins the IMG team with more than 25 years of experience in the insurance and global assistance industries.

In her role, Yates, who will join IMG’s executive team and lead global customer service, assistance, claims, clinical, and cost containment departments, will also be responsible for customer satisfaction and efficiency initiatives within the company.
Yates said: “I am very excited to be taking on this new role as chief customer officer at IMG.
“Service to others has been the theme of my career thus far, and I look forward to continuing that theme and applying my decades of industry experience in this new role.”
Steve Paraboschi, president and CEO at IMG, said: “At IMG, we are committed to continually improving the customer journey, and Susan will be a key driver of our improvement strategies.
“IMG’s purpose is to be there to protect and enhance the well-being of our customers, and we are confident that Susan will help IMG continue delivering on that promise.”
