Before joining SFE, he was Senior Partner (Banking and Financial Services) at Experian plc. He has also held roles including Head of Distribution at insurance giant Aviva, Head of Regulated Sales at RBS Group, and Senior Manager of Strategy Operations at Standard Life.

Since retiring as full-time CEO of SFE, Jones has been working with the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries (IFoA) as their UK Strategic Relationship Adviser. He is a graduate of Aberdeen University, an Associate of the Chartered Insurance Institute and a Chartered Insurer.
