ABI director Kerrie Kelly leaves after just six months
KERRIE Kelly has left as director general of the Association of British Insurers (ABI) after just six months in the role.
Kelly is “stepping down from her role to return to Australia… for personal reasons”, according to the ABI.
She joined the ABI to replace Stephen Hadrill, who left to join the Financial Reporting Council.
Kelly joined from the Insurance Council of Australia where she was executive director and chief executive. She moved to the UK in February to head up the ABI.
Maggie Craig, director of life and savings at the ABI, will serve as acting director-general while a permanent replacement is found.
“Although she has only been here for a short time, Kerrie has had the drive and energy to make an impact,” said ABI chairman Archie Kane.
