QBE broker distribution head takes up HK stint

Jason Hammond, QBE general manager for broker distribution, has accepted a secondment opportunity in QBE's Asia-Pacific operations, it has been announced.

Hammond will be based in Hong Kong, and will be working with CEO Jason Brown's leadership team.

Jason Clarke, executive general manager for intermediary distribution, was pleased with Hammond's decision to take up the opportunity.

“This is a wonderful chance for Jason to expand his experience outside of Australia, and his previous experience in workers' compensation will be invaluable to support the remediation of our Asia business,” Clarke said. “One of the great strengths of QBE is our global footprint and being able to provide opportunities for our people and their professional development, so it’s always pleasing to see this in action.”

During Hammond's secondment, the broker distribution regional managers will report directly to Clarke.
