Insurer Allianz UK has recruited Suzanne Scott as its new chief people and culture officer, effective from November.
Scott will report to Colm Holmes, chief executive officer at Allianz UK, and be responsible for leading and shaping the people strategy to ensure the success of its business strategy. She will replace Julie Harrison who is leaving following a successful Allianz career, which included five years at Allianz UK.
She joins from Axa UK and Ireland, where she held the role of chief people and corporate responsibility officer. Prior to this, she worked for RBS, Natwest and Aviva in a variety of senior roles.
Scott said: “I’m really happy to be joining Allianz UK, particularly at such an exciting time for the brand and its people. I look forward to defining a bold and engaging people agenda that will build on the great work already in place and continue to help employees make a difference for our customers.”
Holmes added: “I’d like to thank Julie for all she has done for our business; she’s navigated us through a huge period of change with expert leadership. I’m therefore thrilled that we are welcoming Suzanne whose skills and experience will further help us build and strengthen our brand and ensure that Allianz UK is a great place to work. Our people are a key part of our success and I’m looking forward to working with Suzanne on the next phase of our people and culture agenda.”
