Chubb names new country president for Australia and New Zealand
Peter Kelaher will step into the role of country president for Australia and New Zealand at Chubb, with executive operating responsibility for the insurer's general insurance business, including commercial P&C, traditional and specialty personal lines, and accident and health insurance.
He will succeed Jarrod Hill, who is leaving the company.
Kelaher currently serves as the senior vice president and head of property and casualty (P&C) for Australia and New Zealand. He has 20 years of insurance industry experience. He joined the company in 2008 as a financial lines underwriter and was promoted to product manager for directors and officers. He was named to lead the P&C business for Australia and New Zealand in 2016.
In his new role, Kelaher will oversee all facets of the business including strategy, product and business development, underwriting and service operations, and profit and loss performance.
He will report to Paul McNamee, senior vice president, Chubb Group and regional president of Asia Pacific, who said: “It is a great pleasure to appoint Peter to lead our Australia and New Zealand general insurance operations. Peter has taken on increased responsibility over the last several years and has proven to be an outstanding leader with the experience and skills to continue to drive the business forward. His extensive network, as well as his deep understanding of Chubb and general insurance, will allow us to continue to grow and maximize our opportunities.”
“We want to thank Jarrod for his many years of service to the company and wish him the best in his future endeavors,” he added.
