Sarah Goddard has revealed she will be stepping down from her position as CEO of the Dublin International Insurance and Management Association (DIMA), as of 1 August.
Goddard will be joining the Association of Mutual Insurers and Insurance Cooperative in Europe (AMICE) serving as secretary general.
Taking over from Goddard, as interim CEO, will be Eddy Van Cutsem. In this role, Van Cutsem will work with the DIMA board to develop its future strategy.
In addition, David Stafford has been named the new chairman of the association, succeeding Marco Nuvoloni.
Goddard said: “I’ve been really privileged to have spent the past 12 years working with DIMA, a time when so much has happened within the industry and within the country. It’s been a time of immense and intense change in so many ways, but – as is always the case with this industry – it is the fantastic people I have met and worked with during this time which has given me the greatest pleasure. I will really miss working with them and with DIMA, but at the same time I’m really excited about the new challenge ahead of me.”
Stafford added: “We really value the depth of experience Eddy Van Cutsem brings to DIMA, and his knowledge of the requirements of our members from being a DIMA board member in the past will be invaluable.”
