QBE has promoted Kevin Shallow (pictured) to executive director for international markets.
Shallow, who has been serving as marine director in the UK since 2022, is stepping into his new role on March 4, subject to regulatory approvals.
Shallow’s career at QBE began in 2005, with credentials including time spent in Singapore where he developed the insurance group’s marine business in Asia. He was also instrumental in the creation and leadership of QBE’s portfolio solutions underwriting unit in the London market.
The international markets executive director post, meanwhile, will see Shallow taking charge as joint active underwriter of Syndicate 2999.
Commenting on the appointment, European operations insurance division managing director Cécile Fresneau said: “Kevin brings a wealth of experience to the role with a keen interest in innovation.
“I am thrilled that we have been able to fill this role internally, recognising a colleague who consistently performs at the highest level. Kevin will be focussed on continuing to shape and grow our wholesale business as a key part of our insurance division.”
In his new capacity, Shallow will oversee operations in both the Lloyd’s and company markets across London, Singapore, Dubai, Canada, and the US.
