JLT Re builds Asia presence with senior hire

Re/insurance broker and consultant JLT Re has appointed Jonathan Garnett as managing director of Malaysia, based in the company’s Kuala Lumpur office.

Reporting to Stuart Beatty, chief executive officer of JLT Re APAC, Garnett will lead the recently established Malaysia business and build a team to service domestic carriers in the region.

Garnett has over 30 years of re/insurance experience, 19 of which were based in Malaysia.

Beatty said: "We are delighted Jo is joining the group. His knowledge and experience of the Malaysian market through many years of living in Malaysia complements our approach to servicing clients locally.

“Our strategy in the region is focussed on developing market leading teams in key countries that will enable us to establish a long-term presence. Jo has an excellent market reputation and is excited about the opportunity here at JLT Re.”

Garnett added: “JLT Re’s reputation continues to go from strength to strength in the region. The mix of market-leading specialist placement capabilities, a strong analytics offering in the region and JLT’s Asian and global footprint are all very attractive to clients in Malaysia. We have an excellent platform in Malaysia from which to further accelerate our growth.”
