from his position British Gas in July this year after a total of six years at the energy company, though the brand stated at the time Jansen would continue to lead a number of campaigns for a short period.

, Jansen is set to become the AA’s next chief executive, which is expected to be announced in the next few weeks. He would replace current chief executive Andrew Strong. 

A spokesperson for the AA declined to comment on Jansen’s appointment, stating that the AA "is seeking to recruit a new chief executive and will make the announcement once they have been approved by regulators".

The spokesperson declined to comment on a timescale for when the announcement will be made.

Jansen announced his exit from British Gas during a period of change at the energy giant, as the Centrica-owned business received a new chief executive from the US side of the company, Chris Weston, to replace Phil Bentley who departed the company after six years at the helm.
