Chubb appoints environmental risk underwriter for Asia
Chubb has appointed Oliver McCauley as an environmental risk underwriter for Asia.
McCauley will be based in Hong Kong and will report to Kane Bennett, Asia Pacific and Far East regional manager for environment risk at Chubb.
He was previously working as the environment risk underwriter for Australia and New Zealand, having contributed to the business both locally as well as for other markets in Asia.
McCauley will be responsible for driving the profitability and strategic direction of the environmental risk portfolio across Asia. This includes providing his underwriting expertise to the Asian markets as well as implementing market strategies tailored for each country.
Before joining Chubb, he spent four years as an environmental consultant with a specialist contaminated land consultancy in Sydney. During this period, he was exposed to a wide range of contaminated land scenarios across Australia, which gave him an understanding of the behaviours of certain contaminants and the potential interaction with receiving environments and populations.
Bennett commented: "The environmental risk markets in Asia have seen tremendous growth as economies mature in the region.
“Against this backdrop, we saw the need to appoint a specialist resource to help us drive the development of our Environmental Risk portfolio in Asia.
“With his strong industry experience, Oliver's appointment will stand us in good stead to consolidate our position as one of the leading underwriters for environmental risks in the region."
