RSA hires former Aviva transformation director
RSA Insurance has brought on board the former transformation director of Aviva, aiming to enhance its tech capabilities and bolster its long-term business strategy.
James Godfrey (pictured) has joined RSA as transformation director.
Godfrey will join RSA from Atos, where he held the position of technology and business change transformation specialist, working with clients to deliver transformational technology and business change programmes. Prior to that, he was UK transformation director at Aviva, where he was responsible for delivering the insurer’s integrated multi-year strategic investment roadmap and business architecture.
In his new role, Godfrey will contribute to the delivery of RSA’s strategic outperformance objectives by driving the UK&I strategic transformation roadmap and investment profile. He will lead a team that will be responsible for the delivery of enterprise-wide programmes intended to future-proof its technology, digital and data capabilities.
Godfrey will report to Oliver Holden, chief information officer at RSA, UK&I, who said: “At RSA, we have an ambition to transform our tech capabilities to help improve our service delivery by making ourselves a more efficient and simpler organisation to do business with. Tech and data are central in helping us to achieve that and are a major contributor in delivering on our long-term business strategy.
“I’m delighted to welcome James to the team, who brings with him a wealth of knowledge and experience of delivering multi-year strategic change agendas. I’m confident he’ll make a big difference in how we manage the prioritisation, sequencing and delivery of our transformation projects across all portfolios – to ensure our overall strategy outcomes are achieved.”
