Towergate replaces departed group risk officer

Towegare has hired Keith Jackson as group risk officer, replacing Lisa Siggery.

Siggery, who took up the group risk officer position last June, has left Towergate to pursue other interests.

Jackson will join Towergate on 8 October this year, subject to FSA approval, and will report to group chief executive officer Mark Hodges.

Jackson was previously chief risk officer at healthcare provider Bupa. He has also held a variety of senior risk and compliance roles within Aviva.

Hodges said: “Keith brings a wealth of strong, commercial and pragmatic senior level risk experience to the business which will drive our risk and compliance agenda.

“This is pivotal to our continued success as an organisation. I am confident in Keith’s ability to develop our governance and risk strategies and to ensure that they are aligned to profitable growth.”

He added: “Furthermore, I am delighted that we continue to attract high quality talent to the business. Keith will be a great addition to the executive team.”
