Ben Carey and Perry O’Leary appointed to lead unit
SINGAPORE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
ACE Group announced today the creation of a new unit to focus solely on
the execution of distribution strategies across the Asia Pacific region.
Enabling a high-level and efficient conduit between ACE and its
distribution partners throughout the vast territory stretching from
South Korea to Australia and New Zealand, this unit will focus on
maximizing ACE’s product offering including portfolio-based solutions,
facilities, joint product design and execution initiatives with key
brokers in the region. Additionally, the unit will serve the unique
needs of ACE’s large clients domiciled in Asia Pacific with the ultimate
mission to ensure efficient trading across all commercial lines of
business; providing distribution partners and clients with relevant and
timely products backed by the strength of ACE’s balance sheet.
Ben Carey will lead this new unit in Asia. With over 10 years of
experience, most recently as the head of Property & Casualty for ACE’s
operations in Singapore, Mr. Carey brings a strong understanding of
ACE’s capabilities in Asia together with a wealth of experience in
broker and client relationships.
Heading up the same position for Australia and New Zealand, is Perry
O’Leary. Mr. O’Leary brings over 35 years of senior industry
experience in the Australian market-place. He is a true market leader
with an unparalleled reputation for broker engagement and client
management in the insurance industry.
According to Paul McNamee, Deputy Regional President and Regional Head
of Property & Casualty for Asia Pacific, “In this region, we recognize
the need to focus on the growth of our partners and clients’ businesses
just as much as our own. The development of the industry creates
opportunities and efficiently trading with our key distribution partners
only spurs this development. Leadership in distribution requires focus,
analysis and a deep understanding of the needs of our clients, or group
of clients; adapting quickly to those needs with relevant products or
solutions in an effective manner. In both Ben and Perry, we have two
executives with proven track records of success and we are delighted to
have each of them lead this critical initiative for ACE as we continue
to build our business in this rapidly growing region of the world.”
