CFC names Adam Winslow group CEO in succession plan
Winslow will join during the summer, subject to regulatory approval, as Louise O’Shea steps down after nearly six years as CEO.
CFC, the London-based specialist MGA, has appointed Adam Winslow as group chief executive officer, succeeding Louise O’Shea, who will step down after serving in the role for nearly six years, according to Insurance Journal.
Winslow previously led Direct Line Group, where he improved profitability and guided the company through its £3.7 billion combination with Aviva. He also previously served as CEO of Aviva’s UK and Ireland General Insurance business, where he accelerated growth and strengthened financial governance.
CFC said the appointment follows a rigorous succession process overseen by the board and O’Shea, and that Winslow is expected to join the business during the summer, subject to regulatory approval. During the interim, Andy Holmes, the group capacity director and a 23-year veteran of the firm, will act as CEO to support a seamless transition.
The insurer expects Winslow to help accelerate its strategy, strengthen market leadership, and capitalize on the next phase of growth. CFC’s chairman, John Howard, said the timing is also designed to further global growth while unlocking AI potential across the company’s operations.
