Fidelity Life has a new Chief Risk Officer with the firm’s Adrian Riminton (pictured) leaving his role as Chief Distribution Officer to take up the new job.
As the head of the company’s risk management function, Riminton will remain on the company’s Executive team and continue reporting to CEO Melissa Cantell.
“It’s great to be able to make an internal appointment and shows just how much talent we have in our business,” says Cantell. “We see risk management as a business-critical function and a strategic enabler for our customer-led transformation.
“With plenty more regulatory and other changes expected in the years ahead, Adrian’s broad commercial background – including last year’s stint as our acting CEO – means he’s ideally placed to help lead our business through our transformation.”
Trecia Brown, Fidelity Life’s Head of Professional Development, will act as its Chief Distribution Officer while a recruitment process is conducted.
Meanwhile, the insurer’s previous Chief Risk Officer, Anna Black, remains on the Executive team as Transformation Lead – People, Process and Customer, a role she’s held since July last year.
Riminton will start his new role on 1 April.
