Risk and reinsurance specialist Guy Carpenter has unveiled the appointment of Ben Savill as CEO for its Pacific division, slated to take effect on April 1.
Savill (pictured), who will be headquartered in Sydney, is set to report to Tony Gallagher, CEO of Guy Carpenter for the Asia Pacific region.
In his forthcoming role, Savill will oversee the brokerage's operations across the Pacific, focusing on enhancing Guy Carpenter's growth initiatives and meeting the diverse needs of its clients in this region.
Bringing over two decades of industry experience, Savill steps into his new role after serving as the chief underwriting officer (CUO) at Convex Insurance, located in Bermuda. His background includes roles such as group CUO for Fidelis and head of North American treaty at Amlin.
In parallel to Savill's commencement, Jeff Saper, the CEO for the Pacific since 2019, has been appointed as the head of GC Fac for the Asia Pacific, moving his base to Hong Kong from July 1.
Saper succeeds Luc Morement, who is set to drive the regional sales leadership across Asia Pacific.
Gallagher highlighted the company's team and expansive regional network as pivotal in offering unparalleled solutions and client support across the Asia Pacific.
“With our enhanced team and strong regional footprint, we are well positioned to deliver best-in-class solutions and support clients across Asia Pacific. I am pleased to welcome Ben to Guy Carpenter and would like to thank Jeff for all his efforts in transforming the Pacific business since 2019,” he said.
“The Pacific region faces a number of specific reinsurance risks, including heightened natural catastrophe exposures, local regulation, and varying economic headwinds,” Savill said. “I look forward to being part of the journey in supporting Guy Carpenter's clients and shaping its future growth strategy in Pacific.”
The appointments follow Echo Reinsurance's adoption of ACORD Solutions Group's ADEPT platform to facilitate automated digital data exchanges with Guy Carpenter.
