Omni Protect, Fintel’s whole of market protection club, has appointed Dave Butler (pictured) to the newly created role of head of protection development.
Butler (pictured) joins from Legal & General where he was most recently market development manager for the last two and a half years.
His remit is to grow and evolve Omni Protect’s proposition, making it easier and more compelling for advisers to write protection business, while strengthening relationships with providers and working to improve client outcomes.
He brings more than 25 years’ experience in the protection sector and has previously held senior roles in business development and proposition design at AIG Life, Vitality and Zurich.
Emma Vaughan, managing director of Omni Protect, said: “I’ve long admired Dave’s strong track record of delivering practical, insight-led solutions for advisers and their clients.
“Six months on from the launch of Omni Protect, this is an exciting time for both our business and the wider sector, and I’m absolutely delighted to welcome Dave to the team as we continue to deliver better financial outcomes to all.”
Butler added: “Having worked alongside Emma and the team for a number of years, this role feels like a natural fit. The BDM team at Omni Protect has so much knowledge and experience and, combined with the valuable work being undertaken by our partners, we really can make a material difference.
“From family and mortgage to business and wealth protection, there are so many opportunities to get more clients protected and help Omni Protect members deliver even greater outcomes. I’m really looking forward to leading the development team in the next chapter of my career.”
