Amanda Winkle, formerly Vice President of International Sales, has been appointed Chief Commercial Officer. After starting her insurance career with IMG in 2000 and later departing, Amanda rejoined in 2013 as Vice President of International Sales. During her six years in this role, the breadth of products and services offered by IMG has increased significantly (examples include travel protection plans and global assistance services), along with the success of the business lines within her remit.

Jason Swift, formerly Chief Information Officer, has been appointed Global Head of IT. Jason has been with IMG for 11 years and has served in a number of Information Technology roles. His record of high performance and superb leadership skills make him the ideal fit as the single point of leadership in the IT department.

"Looking forward to 2020, we will carry these same initiatives forward as we continue to grow the success of our enterprise services in the global assistance market and our full-service catalog of insurance products. To achieve our long-term vision, we will make ongoing investments in systems for global consistency, premises, and staff to ensure we are positioned to always deliver on our mission of focusing on the customer experience and 'Being There' for our members."
