Liberty Mutual Insurance has appointed Shelia Anderson to the newly created role of Corporate Functions Chief Information Officer (CIO), reporting to Liberty Mutual’s Executive Vice President and Chief Information Officer, James McGlennon.
In her Boston-based role, Anderson will focus on customer success for the corporate functions department, B2B architecture, and modernizing and digitizing core systems and processes.
McGlennon said; “To keep up with customer expectations and to stay relevant, every company – including Fortune 100 companies like us – must become faster, more agile and increasingly open to smart risk-taking, innovation and new ways of working.
“Whether those customers are internal or external, we need to develop products that keep pace with their changing expectations and enhance their user experience.
“Shelia and her team will work with our internal corporate functions – legal, benefits, talent and enterprise services – to focus on system automation, their move to the cloud, and applications designed to streamline their work.”
Anderson most recently served as vice president and CIO for Property and Casualty Insurance at USAA.
She has held senior level technology roles with several Fortune 500 global technology organisations, including HP and Electronic Data Systems.
“I was drawn to Liberty for its culture of innovation and James’s dedication to pushing the technology envelope,” said Anderson.
“I’m excited to join the organisation and look forward to partnering with the team to use emerging technology and create solutions that help Liberty compete and succeed in the global marketplace,” she added.
