Chubb launches major accounts division in Asia Pacific; appoints head

Property/casualty insurer Chubb has established a major accounts division in the Asia Pacific region to be headed by Doug White, who is currently the country president of Hong Kong, Taiwan & Macau.

The new division will run the underwriting, risk engineering and claims for the region's large, global and multi-national clients and business partners.

White will be responsible for delivering bespoke, holistic solutions and services to clients and business partners through management of the Chubb Global Services team, Global Client Executives, Claims Client Relationship Managers and Risk Engineers. In his new role, White will report to Jason Keen, Chubb's regional head of property & casualty, Asia Pacific.

White joined Chubb in 2014 as country president for Hong Kong, Taiwan & Macau; a post he has held for four years. Prior to joining Chubb, he was a managing director for a leading broker.

In addition, Patrick Wong has been appointed to the newly-created position of global client executive, North Asia. Reporting to White in his new role, Wong will serve as the senior relationship manager and single point of contact for Chubb's large global clients in North Asia.

Wong is presently Chubb's head of property & casualty for Hong Kong. He joined Chubb's predecessor company in 1991 and since then, has been a member of the property & casualty team, eventually taking on its leadership in 2005.

Keen commented: "We are focused on providing our large, global clients with unrivaled service to meet their evolving risk management needs. With Doug and Patrick, both of whom are experienced leaders with strong relationship management skills, our clients and business partners are in excellent hands as we continue to invest in this Division to grow with our clients."
