Placing Platform Limited (PPL) has completed a restructure of its leadership team, as part of the ongoing transformation of the London market’s digital placement platform.
According to the announcement, the new structure follows Board and governance changes (announced earlier this year), which are expected to help the executive leadership team identify growth opportunities, expand client relationships and create additional value for market firms.
From what Reinsurance News understands, the PPL executive team will be re-organised around the following areas of strategy execution, and will report into Chief Executive Officer (CEO), John Mason.
Firstly, a new Product Office will be created accountable for the build out of new capabilities and products designed to enable brokers and carriers across the end-to-end trading cycle. This new office will be led by Tanya Duckworth, who will serve as Chief Product Officer.
Next up, a new Revenue Office will be created to help drive growth through account development and broader business development initiatives. This office will be spearheaded by Simon Bailey as Chief Revenue Officer.
Moreover, PPL also confirmed that the primacy of continuing to advance functionality and ensure a consistency of design and approach across the core platform as new capabilities are rolled out will be owned by Andy Woolley, who serves as Chief Design Officer.
In addition, PPL’s Chief Operating Office will continue to be led by Colin O’Malley, Chief Operating Officer, while the Chief Finance Office will continue to be led by Amit Arora as Chief Financial Officer, who also remains as a PPL board member.
Finally, it’s worth noting that the newly shaped Executive team follows the implementation of a streamlined board and governance structure that enables considerable operational independence, and a sharper commercial focus.
Furthermore, the new board is smaller, with nine Directors, instead of fifteen.
John Mason, CEO of PPL, commented: “A key priority for H2 2025 was to transform the business operating model to facilitate the delivery of enhanced client value and enable on-going innovation. The reorganisation of my leadership team is the final piece in this jigsaw and sets us up well to deliver on our heightened strategic ambitions.
“Fundamentally, we remain focused on how we can empower brokers and carriers building on our market owned critical infrastructure. With my refreshed team we can now look to accelerate progress and deliver for our clients.”
