"It’s a critical time for (re)insurance regulation, with the government and our regulators focused on the UK’s economic growth and competitiveness."
- David Otudeko, Director of Regulation at the ABI
David Otudeko joined the Association of British Insurers (ABI) in June 2021 as Assistant Director, Head of Prudential Regulation, and has been acting as Interim Director of Regulation since November 2024. This followed the departure of Charlotte Clark, who’d been in post since 2020.
In the past, David has held various risk-focused roles at the Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA), PwC, and AmTrust.
“It’s 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,” he said.
Hannah Gurga, Director General at the ABI, added: “I’m delighted that David has been appointed as the permanent Director of Regulation. He brings significant experience from within Financial Services and has already made demonstrable progress on a number of issues that are a priority for our members.”
