Davies continues leadership build-out with new global role

Insurance service provider Davies Group has created a new global role to lead all legal matters, with particular focus on M&A, commercial, and its strategic growth agenda.

The company has appointed Jeff Chang as its general counsel. He will join the firm on 1 July and will report directly to the group chief financial officer Tony Debiase as well as joining the global executive leadership team.

Currently a partner at Osborne Clarke, Chang specialises in M&A transactional services across a number of sectors.

The appointment is a part of its strategy to strengthen its global leadership team as it continues its expansion into new territories and to add new domain expertise.

Dan Saulter, group chief executive said: “We have worked closely with Jeff over many years and multiple transactions. Having the chance to bring him in to Davies for this next phase of our growth was an opportunity I did not want to miss. I’m delighted to welcome him to Davies and have him join our Executive Leadership Team. We have ambitious global goals over the next few years and having Jeff’s expertise in-house will be invaluable as we execute our plan.”

Chang commented: "I am delighted to be joining the Davies family and having worked with them on a number of interesting projects over the last few years, it seemed a natural fit and an exciting opportunity to pursue. I very much look forward to working alongside and supporting the Executive Leadership Team during and beyond this next phase of growth."
