Vista Insurance announces duo of executive team appointments

We are delighted to announce two internal promotions to our newly formed executive team. Ross Hayden, Head of Corporate has been promoted to Director of Corporate alongside Richard Whitham, currently Head of Creative (South) to Director of Schemes and Affinity Partnerships.

These new promotions come as a result of continued growth within the company and in recognition of their support and commitment over many years to Vista.  Both will be welcomed to the newly formed Executive Team, including June Hibbins Ball (COO), Peter Warburton (Director), Vaughan Rudd (Director), Peter Rusby (CFO) and Gavin Ruben (CEO).

Richard will be driving Vista’s schemes proposition across hospitality, creative and affinities including NWLA (Northwest Landlords Association) with expansion into new areas as part of the wider strategy, while Ross Hayden’s new role will see him take charge of the Corporate department as a result of an uptake of corporate clients and employees within the business. Significant investment into schemes software and systems over the next year is part of Vista’s vision and these appointments will help drive growth for the company across various sectors within the business.

“I am truly thrilled to announce both these promotions” Gavin Ruben, CEO said regarding the news. “This news marks a new phase in our development. The new structure is key to delivering our long-term plans and it’s always amazing to be able to promote people within the business because of their hard work and dedication to the company.

These appointments are also joined by new hires for Vista across its corporate and creative functions, adding new client service executives and client managers to further support our growth.
