Gladwell, formerly Platform’s director of sales and proposition, will have responsibility for the insurance provider’s product, market and e-commerce functions.
He said: “I’m delighted to be joining Paymentshield at this exciting time. This is an organization that is committed to helping brokers grow their businesses; and I will be focusing on a number of projects which will add real value to the Paymentshield proposition.”
Paymentshield chief executive Tim Johnson said: “He brings a wealth of knowledge of the GI industry having previously worked at Commercial Union and Axa, more recently spending four years at the Co-operative bank looking after Intermediary Mortgage Business. His understanding of the market and the needs of brokers is second to none.”
Gladwell left the Co-operative Banking Group in August last after the bank restructured its mortgage teams into one as part of a strategic review into its mortgage business.
