Former BT exec joins ClearView

ClearView Wealth Limited has announced the appointment of Jeffrey Scott to the role of head of product, effective January 2017.

In this role, Scott will be responsible for driving the ongoing development of life insurance and wealth management solutions for financial advisers and will oversee the delivery of a new online quote and application engine.

He joins from BT Financial Group, where he was a senior product development manager.

Scott replaces former head of product, Renee Hancock, who will take on the newly-created role of head of research and development.

ClearView managing director, Simon Swanson, said Scott's appointment "positioned ClearView strongly for continued growth at an important time for the group, following the addition of Sony Life to the ClearView register as a strategic shareholder in October."
