Description

- Direct Line Insurance Group PLC on Wednesday said it has appointed former Aviva PLC UK boss Adam Winslow as its new chief executive officer, succeeding interim CEO Jon Greenwood. Greenwood will remain acting CEO until Winslow joins in the first quarter of 2024. The firm said Greenwood plans to step back from his executive career. Penny James stepped down suddenly as Direct Line CEO in January, after Direct Line said wouldn't pay a final dividend for 2022 due to a big increase in weather-related claims that pushed it into a loss on underwriting. Chief Commercial Officer Greenwood was appointed as acting CEO.
