Liberty IT has announced a new Senior Leadership Team responsible for setting the strategic direction of the organisation and overseeing the company’s ambitious growth plans.
Joining the recently appointed Managing Director, Tony Marron, is Emma Mullan, Senior Director of Talent; Sam Mawhinney, Senior Director of Emerging Business & Technology; Jonathan White, Senior Director of Engineering and Brian Craig, Director of Architecture.
The new leadership structure comes during a period of sustained growth for the leader in digital innovation which creates software, service and solutions for its parent company, Liberty Mutual Insurance, in support of its world-leading insurance products and services.
Tony Marron joined Liberty IT in 2001 as an Engineer and was appointed Managing Director in January 2022. Over the last 21 years, he has worked across the business in a number of roles including Software Engineer, Programme Manager and until recently, the Senior Director of Emerging Business and Technology, with responsibility for positioning the company within the wider Liberty Mutual organisation, leveraging his network of business and IT leaders, internally and externally, to explore emerging technologies, capabilities and relationships.:
“There’s something very special about Liberty IT – it’s our people, the culture and how we collaborate. We’re developing technology that’s really driving the customer experience. The things we are doing help people live safer, more secure lives. When things go wrong, we help our customers build their lives back together. We’ve seen more change over the last two years than ever before as COVID-19 has accelerated the shared plans with our parent company, Liberty Mutual Insurance, for digital enablement and innovation,” Tony said.
