Hiscox USA names new CEO as Langan heads back to the UK
Hiscox, the international specialist insurer, has named a new chief executive officer for Hiscox USA.
Kevin Kerridge succeeds Steve Langan in the role, and will take up his post on May 15, 2021. Langan will return to the UK following a transition period, having run Hiscox USA for three years.
Kerridge joined Hiscox in 1996, creating its first direct online business in the UK, initially for home insurance and then for commercial clients.
In 2009 he relocated from London to New York to oversee the launch and development of Hiscox’s US digital small business operation which, from a standing start, now serves over 460,000 small business customers.
In his new role he will report to Ben Walter, chief executive officer of Hiscox Global Retail.
Walter called Kerridge “an inspirational leader with an impressive track record of building successful businesses for Hiscox,” citing in particular “his limitless drive” as a key asset for the business.
Kerridge added: “The last year has been a challenging time for small businesses, but I want to ensure that Hiscox continues to be a dynamic and collaborative partner for our customers and distribution channels as we help them to adapt and respond to changing markets and emerging opportunities.”
