Leadership reshuffle at the reinsurance broker follows departure of O’Brien and retirement of Morley
Gallagher Re has appointed Roshan Perera as managing director, head of Asia Pacific (APAC) region, and Richard Jones as chairman, APAC.
Perera most recently led the reinsurance broker’s APAC strategic solutions team, where he worked with the regional leadership group to develop and implement the sales framework.
He brings more than 25 years of experience to the role, including two decades in positions across Asia Pacific.
Jones most recently served as chairman South East Asia, Taiwan and Korea.
He has almost 40 years of reinsurance broking experience and has previously held regional CEO and chair roles.
Gallagher Re said Jones (pictured, right) will work closely with Perera (pictured, right of Jones) to execute the firm’s growth strategy in APAC.
Dirk Spenner, international CEO at Gallagher Re, said: “Roshan’s strategic vision and commitment to collaborative leadership coupled with Richard’s deep industry experience and insight make them an excellent fit for these roles.”
The appointments follow the departure of Mark O’Brien, former head of APAC, who is leaving the business to pursue opportunities outside broking.
Mark Morley, former chairman of APAC and deputy chairman of International, is scheduled to retire.
Spenner said: “Both Mark Morley and Mark O’Brien have been instrumental in cultivating a culture of collaboration and shared purpose, driving the region’s success and enhancing our capabilities. They have established a clear, client-centric strategy and fostered a robust sales culture, creating a solid foundation for future growth.”
He added: “We thank them for all of their hard work, and wish them the best for their future endeavours.”
