ACE Group has appointed Andrew Williamson as its new executive vice president of global marine for ACE Overseas General (AOG), effective 1 July.
In his new role, Williamson will have overall responsibility for the performance, development and future growth of ACE’s marine insurance portfolio internationally, including for its wholesale, global accounts and middle market clients.
Williamson, who has 22 years of cargo and marine insurance experience, joined ACE in 2004 as cargo underwriter and UK and Ireland cargo manager for ACE Global Markets (AGM).
He will continue to be based in London and will report to David Furby, division president of commercial property and casualty at AOG. He succeeds Peter Seymour who, after 14 years, has decided to step down from the role.
The firm also made three further promotions within its marine management team, Jason Roe, Mike Reynolds and David Kirk, who will share responsibility for the performance and development of AGM’s marine portfolio.
Furby commented: “Williamson’s excellent underwriting track record and marine expertise makes him the ideal choice of leader for our international marine business.”
“This appointment will enable us to continue to build capability and lead our clients through this complex risk landscape.”
