Sebastian Tjornelund will serve as QBE’s interim Head of Marine for Asia, effective from June 16, following Rama Chandran’s resignation from the role, the company announced on LinkedIn.
Chandran has spent over a decade with the insurer and is moving to Rokstone, an Aventum-owned MGA, as Director, Head of Marine.
“During his tenure, he and the firm’s country teams helped solidify QBE’s position as a leading marine insurer in the region. The company is grateful for his contributions and wishes him success in the next chapter of his career,” QBE said in its announcement.
Tjornelund has been with QBE since September 2023 and will take on this interim role in addition to his current position as Head of P&I Underwriting, British Marine, Asia. He brings a wealth of industry experience, including senior roles at NorthStandard and the American P&I Club.
