Apollo appoints Cabinet Office leader as new CIO

Insurance group Apollo has appointed Gina Gill as its new chief information officer (CIO), effective immediately. 

Gill joins from the Cabinet Office, where she was interim chief strategy officer, and will report into group chief executive David Ibeson.

An Apollo statement said that Gill would become responsible for “driving Apollo’s continuing adoption of technology, tools and data solutions, including advanced analytic initiatives, that enable the business to achieve its strategic objectives”. 

Prior to her role at the Cabinet Office, Gill was employed as the chief digital and information officer at the Ministry of Justice and has held senior positions focused on digital innovation and IT service management at the FCA, Barclays Capital and Lloyds Banking Group.

Strategic leadership

Ibeson commented: “As we continue to expand our offerings and pioneer innovative solutions for our clients, Gill’s deep expertise in digital transformation and strategic leadership across the public and private sectors will be a great asset to our team.

“We look forward to welcoming her to the Apollo team.” 

The appointment of Gill follows Apollo appointing Rob Littlemore as a non-executive director earlier this week (3 March 2025).

Following that appointment, Ibeson also noted Apollo’s “strategy and growth objectives” for the years ahead.
