Specialist professional services and technology firm Davies has announced the appointment of David Leedham as Group Chief Transformation Officer.
Leedham joined Davies in 2018, through the acquisition of the Ember Group, a customer experience (CX) consulting and digital solutions business, where he had been CEO.
Since then, he has led the business’ growth and integration as it formed a new Consulting unit within the firm.
Davies notes that under Leedham’s leadership and strategic direction, its consulting offering has grown significantly, providing its insurance and other global clients with a specialist range of CX, transformation, analytics and training solutions.
As Group Chief Transformation Officer, he is tasked with leading Davies’ transformation and M&A integration teams on a global basis, including in the U.S., where in recent years Davies has established and expanded its operations through organic and M&A growth.
Commenting on his new role, Leedham said, “I am excited to move into this role which will see me working across the whole Davies business and internationally as well.
“As the global insurance market continues to face external pressures & challenges, Davies is committed to investing in technology to help our clients weather these more turbulent times.”
Dan Saulter, Group CEO, Davies, stated, “I congratulate David on his well-deserved promotion to Group Chief Transformation Officer. David has been instrumental in the successful growth of our Consulting business in recent years.
“He has a strong track record of executing transformational change for our clients, and I am looking forward to working with him as he does the same for us.
“I am also thrilled that once again we’ve been able to promote internally; investing in our people and giving them opportunities for career development is central to our success.”
