The Association of British Insurers (ABI) has appointed David Otudeko as director of regulation.
Otudeko joined the ABI in June 2021 as assistant director, head of prudential regulation and has been acting as interim director of regulation since November 2024, following the departure of Charlotte Clark.
Prior to joining the ABI, Otudeko held various risk-focused roles at the PRA, PwC, and AmTrust.
Commenting on his appointment, Otudeko said: “I am really pleased to have been appointed as the ABI’s permanent director of regulation. It is a critical time for (re)insurance regulation with the Government and our regulators focused on the UK’s economic growth and competitiveness. There is a key role for the insurance and long-term savings sector to play in support of this. I look forward to working with the government, regulators, ABI members, the amazing staff in the regulation directorate and across the organisation to help boost growth and deliver fit for purpose and proportionate regulation for our sector.”
