MIB welcomes interim chief financial officer

MIB (Motor Insurers’ Bureau) has today announced that it has tapped Harkamal Phagura to join its executive team as interim chief finance officer.

In his new role, Phagura will lead the organisation’s finance, legal/co sec and procurement/facilities functions. According to a Press release from MIB, he brings a wealth of experience of both PLCs and private equity environments centred around financial services and insurance.

Phagura, who is a fellow of the Chartered Institute of Management Accounts, previously worked with RAC, Aviva, Cap Gemini, Restore and more recently Maxxia UK and brings a strong background of both strategic planning and financial acumen to MIB’s executive team.  

Commenting on his appointment, Phagura said: “I am really excited to join MIB and be able to contribute to the fantastic work the organisation does. It is important for me when I am in a role to get under the skin of the business and understand its purpose and mission. In my brief time at MIB so far, it is clear to see the impact of MIB and the vital role it plays in protecting people from the devastation of uninsured and hit-and-run drivers.

“I am looking forward to helping the team to build on its current strengths and make improvements to take things forward for the benefit of the people we support.”
