Guy Carpenter picks top Convex leader as Pacific CEO amid reshuffle
Global brokerage Guy Carpenter, a business of Marsh McLennan, has tapped a top Convex Bermuda executive as CEO of Pacific, as part of a leadership shuffle aimed at shaping the company’s future growth strategy.
Ben Savill will join Guy Carpenter as CEO of Pacific on April 1. He will be based in Sydney and report to Tony Gallagher, CEO of Guy Carpenter Asia Pacific.
Savill will lead and manage Guy Carpenter’s broking organisation in the Pacific region, while playing a crucial role in further developing its growth strategy, addressing the ever evolving and complex needs of clients in the Pacific region.
Savill brings more than 27 years of market experience to the role. Most recently, he served as chief underwriting offer (CUO) of Convex Insurance in Bermuda, which he joined in 2019. Prior to that, he held various senior industry roles in Bermuda, including as group CUO of Fidelis and head of North American treaty for Amlin, having started his career in London. Savill spent more than 18 years of his career at Amlin.
Jeff Saper, who served as CEO for the Pacific region since 2019, will now take on the role of head of GC Fac, Asia Pacific, and will relocate to Hong Kong.
Saper will succeed Luc Morement, who will assume the role as regional sales leader, Asia Pacific, focused on further developing and growing Guy Carpenter’s strong position in the region. Both positions will be effective from July 1, 2024.
Gallagher said: “With our enhanced team and strong regional footprint, we are well positioned to deliver best-in-class solutions and support clients across Asia Pacific. I am pleased to welcome Ben to Guy Carpenter and would like to thank Jeff for all his efforts in transforming the Pacific business since 2019.”
Savill added: “The Pacific region faces a number of specific reinsurance risks, including heightened natural catastrophe exposures, local regulation, and varying economic headwinds. I look forward to being part of the journey in supporting Guy Carpenter’s clients and shaping its future growth strategy in Pacific.”
