Business deal work handshake people

Brightside chief operations officer Tony Coram and chief people officer Kate Banks are both joining legal expenses insurer DAS.

Coram will be DAS’s group director of customer operations and IT, while Banks will be group director of human resources.

A DAS spokesman said: “DAS are pleased to welcome Kate Banks as Group Director of HR and Legal Services and Tony Coram as Group Director of Customer Operations and IT.

“Their respective skills and experience will be valuable additions to the DAS senior management team when they join us in due course.”
