’This is a huge opportunity to build a future-forward technology foundation that supports faster innovation and delivers even better experiences for our customers and our people,’ says chief executive

Ageas UK has appointed Jason Selby as its new chief technology officer (CTO).

Selby’s appointment comes following the insurer’s acquisition of Esure last year. He will play a role in bringing together the two firms, shaping a future platform strategy that leverages Esure’s digital-first expertise alongside Ageas’ customer and operational capability.

He brings more than 25 years of experience delivering technology transformation across the financial services sector, including senior leadership roles in global digital operations, enterprise architecture and large-scale change portfolios. 

Ant Middle, chief executive at Ageas UK, said: ”His arrival couldn’t be better timed. Esure brings exceptional digital capability and his expertise in modernising and simplifying complex estates will help us bring the best of both organisations together.

”This is a huge opportunity to build a future-forward technology foundation that supports faster innovation and delivers even better experiences for our customers and our people.”

Chief of staff

Meanwhile, Katie Davies has been appointed as the new chief of staff.

She will work closely with Middle to co-ordinate strategic priorities and strengthen cross‑functional collaboration through a period of organisational change and integration.

She brings extensive insurance experience and has spent almost a decade at Ageas, progressing through a series of strategic and operational roles. 

Middle said: ”Davies is an outstanding example of the talent we have within Ageas. She brings deep insurance experience, almost a decade of insight from across our business and a proven ability to connect people and priorities.

”Her journey reflects the opportunities we want to create for our people and I’m delighted to see her step into this important new role.”
