Azline Bulmer, executive director of the Chartered Insurance Institute, will leave the professional body at the end of February, two months ahead of her fixed term contract. The CII recently announced the appointment of Matthew Hill as CEO. He joins in April following the departure of previous CEO, Alan Vallance.

Bulmer said: “I was delighted to join the CII and I’m pleased with the progress we have made to build an excellent member experience over the past 18 months, carefully acting on the feedback we sought from members domestically and internationally. I am also proud to have served on the PFS Board, supporting its evolution and refocusing attention on driving change for the benefit of members.”

Gill White, acting chief executive of the CII Group, added: “Azlina has made a real difference during her time with us. We would like to pay thanks for her leadership in re-energising the positive interactions we have with our local institutes, regional committees and volunteers up and down the country as well as our global affiliates around the world.”
