UK protection and health insurer The Exeter has today announced the appointment of Gary Warman as Chief Risk Officer, effective 1st September 2024, subject to regulatory approval.

Warman will become a member of The Exeter’s Executive Committee and joins with a wealth of experience in senior leadership roles within the financial services industry.  

Most recently, he served as Global Life and Health Consulting Leader at Aon Strategy & Technology Group, where he was responsible for setting up and leading the Global Life and Health Consulting business, achieving significant growth and collaboration across Aon's existing business lines. 

Warman’s experience spans working at board and executive levels, managing senior business stakeholders, regulators, external auditors, and third-party suppliers.

Warman’s career includes roles at Royal London Group, Deloitte LLP, and JPMorgan Asset Management. He is a commercially minded actuary with deep technical risk management experience and a track record of developing strong teams and building a collaborative culture.  

At The Exeter, Warman will be responsible for its risk management strategy and ensuring its control framework meet their regulatory obligations. Warman will also provide risk advice to The Exeter’s Executive and Main Board to enable the mutual to achieve its long-term business strategy. 

Isobel Langton, CEO of The Exeter, commented: 

“I am delighted to welcome Gary to The Exeter as he undertakes his new role as Chief Risk Officer. Gary has vast experience across many senior leadership roles within financial services and his expertise and ambition align perfectly with our strategy, vision and values.
