Chubb appoints Singapore's head of casualty

Property/casualty insurer Chubb has appointed Edward Rayfield as head of casualty in Singapore.

Rayfield most recently held the position of casualty manager, global broker unit NSW & ACT for Chubb in Australia, overseeing the performance and growth of the business portfolio. Prior to that, he spent a large part of his career as a casualty underwriter at Chubb's operations in Europe.

In his new role, Rayfield will be responsible for the day-to-day management of the casualty and work injury compensation portfolios in Singapore, including all underwriting and market-facing functions. In addition, he will spearhead product development as well as underwriting initiatives to achieve sustainable growth.

Rayfield will report to Liam Burrell, division head of property and casualty.

Adam Clifford, country president for Chubb in Singapore, said: "I am excited about the enthusiasm, passion and drive Edward will bring to the casualty team and the Singapore business. Given his global industry experience, strong technical underwriting expertise and proven ability to effectively engage our brokers, I am confident that he is an excellent candidate to lead and drive the expansion in our Casualty business."
