Open GI has appointed insurance technology expert, Stuart Walters as a Non-Executive Director with immediate effect.
Walters has held a number of senior technology roles in a range of sectors including BGL Group where he was Chief Information Officer for more than seven years between 2013 and 2021.
At BGL he was responsible for strategy and execution of the technology and digital agenda across BGL and its subsidiary, Comparethemarket.
The move reunites him with Open GI Chairman, Peter Thompson, who headed up BGL between 2018 and 2023. His appointment will support the acceleration of tech development and transformation at Open GI.
Simon Badley, Open GI CEO, commented: “Stuart is a fantastic addition to our team of Non-Executive Directors. His appointment is reflective of our investment into bringing in the right talent for Open GI and his unparallelled expertise will accelerate our growth and evolution as a critical specialist technology partner to the insurance sector.”
Walters also holds a part-time Chief Technology Officer position at Trinity Cups. Prior to that he was Chief Information Officer at Parcel2go.com.
Walters added: “Open GI is at an exciting point in its lifecycle, and I am delighted to be joining the talented and dedicated team and to come back to the world of insurance. I’m also pleased to be reuniting with Peter to support Open GI to grow and continue helping its customers to operate more efficiently and profitably. I am looking forward to supporting Open GI to develop and deliver a fresh tech offering to underpin the future of the insurance sector.”
