Sedgwick has launched its Global Specialty platform, a forward-looking and dedicated solution designed to handle the largest and most complex losses.
The platform represents a major investment to drive growth and attract talent to the company, building on the existing capabilities in marine and energy and expanding other technical and special risks.
The Global Specialty platform will be led by Mr Damian Ely as CEO and Mr Kevin Hagan as CCO.
Mr Ely brings more than 35 years of leadership and industry experience across international markets. He has a proven track record of building global businesses, operations management and strategic transformation, guiding organisations through periods of growth and change.
Mr Hagan brings over 16 years of leadership and international experience, leading complex organisations through transformation, growth and strategic change. He has a strong background in financial services and experience building resilient future-focussed teams.
The launch will be underpinned by the onboarding of over 100 of the world’s leading loss adjusters. Among them, Mr David Boghurst will head Global Specialty Marine, driving the expansion of services to include technical expertise and average adjusting. Energy capabilities will also be strengthened, with Mr Hugh Kennaway leading onshore energy and Mr Gary Mawditt spearheading offshore energy.
The platform will maintain hubs in Asia and the Middle East, alongside other regions.
