BrokerIQ have just announced the appointment of Hugh Hessing as Non-Executive Chair of its Board of Directors.

As one of the leading Customer Engagement Platforms built specifically for the Mortgage and Insurance sector, BrokerIQ has ambitious plans to transform the Customer Experience journey for consumers while promoting and enhancing brokers efficiency and effectiveness.

Joanne Cole, founder of BrokerIQ says “We are delighted to announce the appointment of Hugh as our Non- Executive Chair. Hugh’s industry knowledge and experience has been a major boost to our start-up. His role as CEO Aviva Ireland and COO Aviva UK brings expertise to our growth plans as we begin to scale. Hugh shares in the vision of BrokerIQ which has the end user at its core. We look forward to working with him over the coming months and years.”

Since leaving Aviva in March 2020 I have supported and advised many start-ups, and am excited to be joining the team at BrokerIQ. Ever since I met the founder, Joanne Cole I have been taken by her complete focus on the end customer and how their 'simply deployable app' can immediately make a meaningful difference to broker efficiency, client engagement and clearer and safer communication for customers. It is not always the big ideas that are important but often those that are simply deployed that make an immediate difference, that matter most."

Jenny Ervine, CEO Raise Ventures says “BrokerIQ graduated from our accelerator programme and launched their platform in 2021 and a year later it is great to see the team secure Hugh Hessing as Non-Executive Chair. Hugh will lead the board through the next growth phase, adding his strategic and C-Suite skills to a great team”
