Airmic has revealed that John Ludlow will be the new CEO of the association, effective 13 June.
Ludlow, who has 15 years of experience in senior risk management roles, has been a director at Airmic since 2012.
In January, Airmic announced that John Hurrell would step down as CEO after nine years in the role, but would remain in the role until a successor was appointed.
Clive Clarke, chair of Airmic, commented: “Having worked closely with Airmic for years, [Ludlow] not only understands the needs of our members, but also has the experience and vision to continue the excellent progress made under John Hurrell’s pioneering leadership.”
He added: “The role of the risk manager is undergoing transformation, and Ludlow is the right person to support and promote our members in these fast-changing times.”
Ludlow, said he is “delighted” to be offered the opportunity, adding: “Airmic plays a vital and hugely influential leadership role in the risk management profession and wider insurance market and it will be an absolute honour to represent and serve its members in what are both challenging and exciting times.”
Hurrell said: “Ludlow is an outstanding professional who is passionate about risk management. Airmic will be in very good hands.”
Ludlow will officially start in the role after Airmic’s annual general meeting at its annual conference in Birmingham.
