Mary Boyd has been appointed as the new CEO of Hiscox’s USA business unit, effective June 24. Aki Hussain, Group CEO, congratulated her on her appointment and highlighted her exceptional knowledge and expertise in the insurance industry. Boyd’s background includes leadership roles at several notable companies such as Plymouth Rock Assurance, The Hartford Insurance Company, ACE, Explorer Insurance, and Chubb. Her deep understanding of the U.S. customer market will be crucial in scaling Hiscox’s U.S. business.
Boyd expressed her excitement for her new role and emphasized her enthusiasm for leading the talented team at Hiscox to further successes. The transition marks the departure of outgoing CEO Kevin Kerridge after nearly 30 years with the company, during which he played a significant role in its digital transformation. Kerridge will continue to provide advisory support before exploring opportunities outside Hiscox at the end of September.
Hiscox is looking forward to utilizing Boyd’s experience and skills to drive innovation and profitable growth in the U.S. market. Boyd’s appointment is a testament to Hiscox’s commitment to excellence and its ongoing efforts to remain at the forefront of the insurance industry in North America.
