Hastings announces Chief Financial Officer transition

Hastings Group ("Hastings", "the Group"), the technology driven UK insurance provider, today announces that Jamie Hay is to be appointed as Group Chief Financial Officer during the second quarter of this year, subject to regulatory approval. John Worth, who joined Hastings in May 2019, will remain as Group CFO during this period, helping to ensure a seamless transition.

Jamie joins Hastings from Abacai Technologies, where he was a co-founder of the business and served as the Managing Director of Finance, Strategy and M&A. Prior to this, Jamie spent nearly a decade at Goldman Sachs, most recently as head of the Insurtech business in EMEA. He previously worked closely with Hastings during Goldman Sachs Merchant Banking Division's investment in 2013, during the Group's IPO in 2015, and whilst Goldman Sachs remained invested during Hastings' time as a publicly listed company. 

Toby van der Meer, Hastings Group CEO said: “I am delighted to welcome Jamie to Hastings and look forward to working with him as we continue our growth trajectory and fulfil our ambition to be the best and biggest UK digital insurance provider. I would also like to take the opportunity to thank John for the key role he’s played at Hastings, including in the Group’s transition to private ownership, the development of the finance team and the delivery of our growth agenda.”
