Hyperion hires BP exec

Insurance group Hyperion has appointed Lyn Grobler as chief information officer (CIO).

She will join in January 2016 from BP where she served as vice president and CIO of corporate functions.

Grobler will be responsible for overseeing all aspects of technology and implementing and IT strategy to support the business in its next phase of growth. She will also join Hyperion’s group executive committee.

David Howden, chief executive officer of Hyperion, said: “The way that we use technology and data is absolutely fundamental to Hyperion’s future success; it is not just part of our strategy, data underpins everything we do.

“Lyn’s experience in leading transformational IT projects in large, global organisations will be invaluable in ensuring that we are not only fit for purpose today but retain the agility that enables us to respond quickly to changing client needs as we continue to grow.

“Hyperion has always attracted the brightest talent and to secure a FTSE 100 CIO is testament to what we have achieved in what has been a transformational 12 months.”

Grobler added: “I am delighted to be joining Hyperion as it enters the next stage of its growth journey. I look forward to being part of an entrepreneurial, customer-focused organisation that truly believes that the future of meeting client needs lies in data and technology.”
