Ageas has hired Jonathan Price as its new chief financial officer (CFO) for its UK business.

Price joins Ageas from Aspen Insurance Group where he also served as CFO.

In his new role, Price will be responsible for financial planning, management of financial risks, and financial reporting for the UK business.

As a senior leader, he will also contribute to the management and decision making of the wider business as part of the UK executive team.

Before joining Aspen over three years ago, Price worked at Aviva for over six years, ultimately holding the position of UK chief accountant for its general insurance business.

Commenting on the appointment Andy Watson, Ageas UK CEO said; “I’m delighted to welcome Jonathan to Ageas. His appointment completes another part of the management structure changes I announced towards the end of last year. Jonathan has broad and valuable finance experience, and I look forward to working closely with him.”

Price commented: “Ageas has been on a transformational journey over the last year as it simplifies its model and focuses on improving profitability. I’m excited to be joining the team at this time and look forward to taking the business through the next stage of its development.”
