The Exeter has appointed Gary Warman as chief risk officer.
Effective from the start of the month and subject to regulatory approval, Warman will become a member of the mutual’s executive committee.
Warman was global life and health consulting leader at Aon Strategy & Technology Group, where he was responsible for setting up and leading the global life and health consulting business. He left Aon at the start of the year.
He has held roles at Royal London Group, Deloitte and JPMorgan Asset Management.
But his experience also spans working at board and executive levels, managing senior business stakeholders, regulators, external auditors, and third-party suppliers.
At The Exeter, Warman will be responsible for its risk management strategy and ensuring its control framework meets regulatory obligations.
Warman will also provide risk advice to The Exeter’s executive and main board to enable the mutual to achieve its long-term business strategy.
Isobel Langton, CEO of The Exeter, said: “I am delighted to welcome Gary to The Exeter as he undertakes his new role as chief risk officer.
“Gary has vast experience across many senior leadership roles within financial services and his expertise and ambition align perfectly with our strategy, vision, and values.
“I am sure he will make a significant contribution to the future success of our business.”
Warman added: “Joining The Exeter is an exciting opportunity to contribute to an ambitious company that truly puts its members and advisers at the heart of everything it does.
“I look forward to working with a fantastic team to deliver our future business strategy and provide even greater peace of mind for our customers.”
