Brit to Appoint RSA’s Wilkinson as Group CFO

Brit Ltd. announced the appointment of Gavin Wilkinson as group chief financial officer. Wilkinson will start his new role in May 2021 and will also join the executive committee and board of Brit.

A proven and highly experienced finance leader, Wilkinson joins Brit from RSA where he is currently CFO, Scandinavia. During his 10 years at RSA, he has held a number of senior finance roles including CFO of RSA UK & International, CFO of RSA Ireland and group performance & capital director. Wilkinson started his career at Deloitte, where he qualified as an accountant, working within its financial services practice.

Wilkinson’s appointment is subject to regulatory approval.

Ki’s CEO Mark Allan will step down from his role as Brit CFO once Wilkinson has started his role. (Ki is the first fully digital and algorithmically driven Lloyd’s of London syndicate, launched this year in collaboration with Brit Ltd. and Google Cloud.)

“Gavin was the stand-out candidate for the group CFO role, and we are delighted that he will be joining Brit. He brings a strong technical skillset, deep expertise in leading finance functions within non-life insurance and an impressive track-record of driving performance throughout his career,” said Matthew Wilson, group CEO.

“Critically, Gavin has demonstrated himself as a key strategic partner to boards and management teams. His energy and dynamism strongly resonated with the culture we have created at Brit and I look forward to working closely with Gavin in his new role.”
