IGI creates chief technology role in digital strategy
Specialist commercial re/insurer International General Insurance Holdings (IGI) has appointed Nasser Zagha to the newly-created role of chief technology officer.
Zagha joins IGI from the Bank of Jordan, where he was head of information technology. Previously, he worked for Bank of America as a systems engineer, technology manager, and most recently vice president.
Zagha will be based in IGI's Amman office and will report to Hatem Jabsheh, IGI’s chief operating officer.
In his new role, Zagha has been tasked with leveraging technology to enhance IGI’s overall business capabilities, and enhance its digital strategy in order to streamline the business processes.
Jabsheh said: “At IGI we have made significant investments to future-proof the business. Earlier this year we implemented a ground-breaking project to modernise our risk, capital and actuarial modelling capabilities. Technology is at the very heart of our business, and I look forward to working with Nasser to implement the best emerging technologies to help improve the service we deliver to our clients and brokers.”
Zagha commented: “I am very excited about joining IGI, a company that is fully committed to using the very latest technology to benefit its clients. IGI’s strategy is clearly aligned with both the needs of the market and technology trends. I'm looking forward to utilizing my over 20 years of expertise in the IT and financial industries to address IGI's business needs.”
