Acquis appoints Kevin Crowley as Head of Data and Business Intelligence

Crowley joins the specialist insurance provider to the leasing and asset finance industry with more than 15 years of experience across financial services and insurance. His background spans data strategy, analytics and business intelligence, having previously held senior positions including Head of Business Intelligence at Go.Compare, Head of Data and Business Intelligence at Hodge Bank, Vice President of Data and Analytics at Alcumus, and Head of Data and Insight at The Scouts Association.

Throughout his career, Crowley has specialised in developing data functions that operate as strategic business partners, aligning analytics and data initiatives with commercial objectives rather than solely reporting on business performance.

In his new role, he will lead Acquis’ data and business intelligence strategy, helping to strengthen the way data is used across the organisation to support faster, more informed decision-making. He will also focus on enhancing the analytics available to clients and partners while developing a scalable data platform to support the company’s continued expansion.

Acquis said these initiatives will ensure data remains central to its long-term growth strategy, improving outcomes for clients and partners across its global markets.

Commenting on his appointment, Crowley said: “It’s a real pleasure to join the Acquis team. Having worked in the industry for a number of years, I’ve seen how Acquis has evolved into the company it is today, and I’m excited to help turn data into clear, actionable insights for teams across the business, helping to further strengthen an already well-established and trusted organisation.

“My focus is on creating a data function that the business can rely on, delivering value quickly while modernising platforms, tools, and ways of working.”

Nick Leader, CEO of Acquis, welcomed the appointment, highlighting Crowley’s track record of building high-performing data teams.

“We are delighted to welcome Kevin to the team. Bringing someone with his knowledge and experience into Acquis marks an exciting step forward,” he said.

“Kevin will be a valuable addition to our leadership team, and we have seen first-hand how his teams have developed and performed in other major organisations. His achievements in the industry speak for themselves, and we look forward to the impact he will have as we continue to grow and evolve.”
