ArgoGlobal swoops for QBE exec to lead Singapore business

ArgoGlobal, a Lloyd's insurer and member of Argo Group, has appointed Veronica Grigg as senior executive officer for ArgoGlobal Asia.

Grigg takes up her new role in April and will be based in the Singapore office. She will report to Matt Harris, ArgoGlobal’s head of Europe, Middle East and Asia.

Grigg has more than 25 years of industry experience in the Asia Pacific markets. She joins from QBE Asia Pacific where she served as head of distribution, major trading partners. In this role, she was tasked with establishing and enhancing channel, account and partner strategies, and was instrumental in driving growth within the broker, affinity and SME segments. Prior to this, Grigg served as QBE’s global head of distribution where she led teams across Europe, US, Latin America and Asia Pacific.

Commenting on the appointment, Harris said: “Our Asia business will increasingly become a core driver of growth for Argo Group. To achieve our ambitions, we need to bring in proven leaders who have the skills and drive to set our services apart. Veronica is a clear example of this philosophy in practice. Her record of driving growth through strong leadership and innovation, her exemplary knowledge of the APAC markets and her vast network of contacts will be invaluable as we continue to strengthen our offering. I am confident that clients will quickly experience the benefit of her expertise, and I look forward to welcoming her to the team.”
