Duck Creek Technologies has appointed Christian Erickson as the general manager for its Asia-Pacific (APAC) division.
This move is part of the company’s strategy to increase investment and strengthen relationships with customers and partners in the region.
Erickson (pictured) brings over 25 years of experience in enterprise software and professional services.
Before joining Duck Creek, he served as general manager of growth at Versent, where he collaborated with key public and private sector clients in Australia to integrate cloud, digital, data, and security capabilities. His career also includes significant roles at Cognizant, leading the banking, financial services, and insurance (BFSI) team, and at Accenture, within its financial services leadership.
Erickson has worked with major insurers and financial institutions globally, focusing on improving operational efficiencies and leading digital transformations. He started his career at Andersen Consulting and Ernst & Young before moving into roles at Aon, ING, Tenix, and the Reinsurance Group of America (RGA).
He holds an MBA and a master of management, finance, and financial management from the Macquarie Graduate School of Management and is based in Sydney, Australia.
Duck Creek’s expansion in the APAC region has been driven by new and growing customer partnerships, as well as the introduction of new products, such as Duck Creek Reinsurance, Duck Creek Clarity, and Duck Creek Payments.
The company said Erickson’s extensive background in multi-regional software services would support its ongoing investment in people and resources, ensuring continued delivery of solutions to both current and future customers.
“Given our growth and execution, Duck Creek is increasingly seen as the dependable brand leader for P&C and general insurance customers. Christian’s leadership acumen and customer-first mindset, combined with his deep understanding of the insurance sector, make him ideal to spearhead Duck Creek’s investment in the Asia-Pacific region,” said Rohit Bedi, chief revenue officer at Duck Creek. “Christian’s leadership will be pivotal in delivering value to our customers across APAC and continuing our growth.”
“I am thrilled to join Duck Creek and leverage my international experience across general insurance, property and casualty, reinsurance, and broking to benefit our customers and partners in the region,” Erickson said. “Duck Creek’s dedication to serving customers and transforming the insurance industry is truly impressive. I look forward to working with the talented Duck Creek team and our ecosystem partners to drive successful business outcomes for insurers across APAC.”
