JLT appoints finance director
Broker Jardine Lloyd Thompson (JLT) has appointed Charlie Rozes as group finance director.
He succeeds Mike Reynolds, who was appointed chief executive officer (CEO) of JLT Re in August 2014. He will report to group CEO Dominic Burke.
Rozes will join the board as an executive director and will also be a member of the group executive committee.
Rozes joins from Barclays, where, since 2011, he has held the role of global head of investor relations. Prior to that, he was chief financial officer of Barclays UK retail and business banking.
Burke said: “I am delighted to welcome Charlie to JLT. He is a highly-regarded and extremely accomplished finance professional whose extensive experience in the financial services sector will be of immense value to JLT. Charlie will play a pivotal role in the next stage of JLT’s growth and I very much look forward to working with him.
“I would like to thank Mike for the excellent contribution he made as group finance director, in particular, the instrumental role he played in the acquisition of Towers Watson Re in 2013. I have tremendous confidence in his ability to lead JLT Re and know that he will continue to take this important business from strength to strength.”
Rozes added: “I am delighted to be joining JLT at such an exciting time in their development. The business has transformed itself in recent years and has become a true global Specialty powerhouse. I look forward to working with Dominic and the rest of JLT’s leadership to drive the next phase in JLT’s growth.”
