Unum UK has appointed Will Major to its newly created role of chief change officer.
Major joins from Prudential PLC, where he was previously chief transformation officer (Africa) and oversaw the implementation of ‘Pulse by Prudential’ – a digital health, wealth, and SME ecosystem – across eight markets in the region.
Major has held numerous leadership positions at Prudential over a 13-year period and has previously worked for Accenture.
The appointment comes on the heels of Unum UK announcing a fivefold increase in investment in growth-driven initiatives across core markets going forward – with the pandemic continuing to shine a spotlight on the importance and value of high-quality employee benefits.
Unum UK CEO Mark Till says: “Will is a highly capable leader with extensive experience in transforming businesses and overseeing large scale digital enhancements.
“With a history of delivering strategic change and digital transformation, Will’s appointment is an exciting one for our business as we commit to more investment in growth initiatives – and comes at a time when employee benefits are higher up on the agenda of UK workplaces than ever before.”
