Gallagher Re has announced changes in its leadership team at Gallagher Securities, appointing Jason Bolding (pictured above, left) as CEO and naming Bill Dubinsky (pictured above, right) as chairman.
Bolding, who previously served as global head of sales and distribution at Gallagher Securities, will focus on strengthening sales efforts by aligning Gallagher Re and Gallagher Securities. In this role, he will work with client teams and regional sales teams to expand insurance-linked securities (ILS) opportunities for both the firm and its clients.
Bolding joined Gallagher Securities in 2022 and has held senior positions at Credit Suisse, Aon Benfield Securities, and Platinum Trading.
Dubinsky, who has led Gallagher Securities since 2010, will transition into the role of chairman. The company said that he will focus on expanding Gallagher Securities' ILS product offerings and developing new structures that align with Gallagher Re’s broader strategy.
Dubinsky has more than two decades of experience in the ILS sector, having worked on over 120 deals securing more than US$18 billion in ILS capacity. His experience includes roles at Swiss Re Capital Markets, Merrill Lynch, and Aon Capital Markets, where he specialized in structuring risk transfer solutions for reinsurers, insurers, government entities, and corporate clients.
In other recent developments, Gallagher Re also announced the appointment of Karsten Lüers as regional director for credit, surety, and political risk.
Lüers is based in the company’s Munich office and contributes as a senior member of Gallagher Re’s Global Credit, Surety, and Political Risk practice group.
Last month also saw the promotion of Ben Wathen to chief claims officer. In this role, Wathen leads the company’s Global Claims Advocacy team, with over two decades of experience in claims management, underwriting, and broking. Wathen joined Gallagher Re in April 2024 as head of complex claims.
