Direct Line CEO Steps Down
After Direct Line encountered inflation, weather, and commercial property valuation elements that meant it could not pay its final dividend, it shored up its balance sheet through reinsurance, and on Jan. 27, 2023, CEO Penny James announced her resignation. The news comes after a fraught few weeks for the business—yet we’re not necessarily fans of the announcement. Jon Greenwood, currently chief commercial officer will be acting CEO until the board makes a permanent appointment.
