CFC hires Hiscox chief technology officer Jonathan Fletcher

CFC Underwriting, a specialist insurance provider and Lloyd's managing general agent (MGA), has recruited Hiscox's Jonathan Fletcher as chief technology officer (CTO). Fletcher, formerly group CTO at Hiscox, will oversee CFC’s technology and infrastructure strategy and lead the company’s development and application support teams.  Fletcher joins CFC with 20 years of experience leading IT, DevOps and digital transformation projects at Hiscox, Accenture and the London Stock Exchange. “Technology innovation has long been at the heart of CFC’s business and continues to be one of the main drivers of our growth and success,” said CFC CEO David Walsh. “The addition of Jonathan to our leadership team is a testament to the calibre of the work we’ve done so far, and to our commitment to lead the market in digital innovation.”  Fletcher commented: “Innovation and digital transformation are hot topics in insurance and financial services, but there are few companies who are actually walking the walk. CFC is using technology to transform the way they sell insurance - by transacting business more efficiently and delivering products to market faster. I’m excited to partner with the leadership team and our world-class development team to help drive the next phase of our growth.”
