FM Global appoints new chairman
Commercial property insurer FM Global has appointed its president and chief executive officer as the new chairman succeeding Thomas Lawson.
Malcolm Roberts has been appointed chair of the board with immediate effect. He replaces Lawson, former president and CEO of FM Global, who has served as chair since 2018.
Roberts joined FM Global in 1995 as a loss prevention consultant in London and has held various managerial roles within the company across the globe. In August 2021, Roberts was named president and elected to the company’s board of directors. He began the role of CEO at the beginning of 2022.
“Under Malcolm’s leadership, FM Global has delivered outstanding results and driven the continued expansion of its business around the world,” said John Luke Jr., FM Global board member. “With his many years of experience, extensive contributions to FM Global and long track record of success, Malcolm is perfectly suited to step into the role of chair of the board.”
