Hyperion appoints Rebecca Scott as new group COO

Intermediary Hyperion Insurance Group, which owns MGA DUAL, retail broker Howden and specialty broker RKH, has appointed Rebecca Scott as new group chief operating officer (COO).

Scott will report to David Howden, CEO of Hyperion, and has joined the group executive committee.

Scott joined Hyperion in 2014 as head of internal audit, taking on the role of chief risk officer in 2015. Most recently she was appointed COO of Howden Broking Group in 2017.

Prior to joining Hyperion, Scott was CRO at a Lloyd’s Managing Agency and a partner at chartered accountancy firm Mazars.

Howden said: “Since Rebecca joined us in 2014, she has led a number of key strategic projects including, most recently, the highly successful and transformational London office move which has seen us take on our new headquarters at One Creechurch Place. She brings important additional strength to the GEC and is extremely well placed to support Hyperion in our next phase of growth as we embrace the changes needed to
ensure we earn the right to remain independent whilst retaining our culture.”
