Chubb has appointed Aaron Shead as executive vice president, head of property, for Chubb Overseas General Insurance (COG), the company’s international general insurance operations, the insurer announced in a media release on 8 December.
Shead has been with the business for more than 25 years, having held leadership positions across the UK, Asia, and Bermuda. He most recently served as head of fire for COG.
In his new role, Aaron will oversee the growth and profitability of Chubb’s fire, terrorism, power, and energy portfolios, and serve as the business leader for property major accounts.
“Aaron’s appointment reflects both his outstanding track record and the confidence we have in his leadership to drive our property business forward,” Brian Church, division president – property and casualty of COG, said, as he also highlighted Shead’s global experience, deep technical expertise, and commitment to the company’s clients’ evolving needs.
Shead’s appointment comes after the insurer appointed Church in his current role in October. The company also donated HK$10m (approx. US$1.28m) early this month to aid families and individuals affected by the deadly fire in Hong Kong’s Tai Po district.
