Chubb has appointed Jason Keen as division president for Chubb Global Markets.
In a statement, Chubb said that, in this role, Mr. Keen will have responsibility for the leadership, strategy, and performance of Chubb Global Markets, which comprises Chubb's London Market wholesale and specialty business, including the company's Lloyd's platform.
Mr. Keen will assume his role early in 2020 and will report to David Furby, regional president of Chubb European Group. His appointment is subject to regulatory approval.
Chubb noted that Mr. Keen succeeds Matthew Shaw, who is leaving the company.
Mr. Keen joined ACE (now Chubb) in 2010 as regional property underwriter for Asia Pacific and assumed overall responsibility for the company's property and casualty portfolio in Asia Pacific in 2016. Previously, he worked for Lloyd's syndicates Talbot Underwriting Ltd and Ascot Underwriting Ltd.
"Jason's strong underwriting acumen is a distinguishing feature of his success to date and aligns perfectly with our Chubb Global Markets tradition of underwriting discipline and consistent results," said Juan Luis Ortega, executive vice president of Chubb Group and president of Chubb Overseas General Insurance.
Mr. Furby added, "I am delighted to appoint Jason to lead our Chubb Global Markets business. He brings a wealth of insurance knowledge and business leadership experience to the role. I have great confidence in his ability to lead our wholesale business at a time of utmost importance and I am very much looking forward to working with him in his new remit."
