Earlier in his career, Nicol was also a BDM at Gallagher and spent 12 years at Axa Health where he was an international portfolio account manager.
He joins CIB to drive growth and client delivery across the Channel Islands, with a focus on strengthening its broker proposition and expanding its footprint in private medical insurance and reports to Tony De Sousa, CIB group managing director and PIB Group’s Channel Islands broking leadership.
De Sousa said: “Darren combines deep Channel Islands experience with a clear client focus. His experience will help us scale responsibly while keeping service at the heart of what we do. I’m delighted to welcome him to the CIB board.”
Announcing his appointment on LinkedIn, Nicol said: “With over 20 years of experience in the employee benefits and PMI sector, I’m thrilled to bring my knowledge and passion to a company that shares my commitment to delivering exceptional client service and innovative solutions.
“What makes this move even more special is that it brings me back to the Channel Islands – a market that’s very close to my heart. It feels fantastic to be connecting with the local business community and contributing to an industry I’ve always loved.
“Looking forward to this next chapter with the brilliant team at CIB and to working with clients.”
