Guy Carpenter reveals new Canada president and CEO replacing Callahan

Reinsurance broker Guy Carpenter & Company, a part of Marsh & McLennan Companies, has appointed Peter Askew as president and CEO of its Canadian business.

Askew replaces Donald Callahan who has stepped down from the role of president and CEO of Guy Carpenter in Canada after 20 years.

Callahan will remain with Guy Carpenter in Canada, and will continue to support Askew.

Askew has over 25 years of experience in the Canadian re/insurance industry, having held numerous leadership roles, most recently as managing director of Guy Carpenter & Company in Canada. Prior to joining Guy Carpenter, he was director of Canada, QBE Services (Canada).

In his new role, Askew will be responsible for Guy Carpenter’s reinsurance broking activities in Canada, which includes both its Montreal and Toronto offices. He will focus on further expanding the depth and scope of solutions available to Canadian insurance providers to help meet their ever-evolving needs.

John Trace, CEO of North America, said: “I am delighted that Peter has taken the helm of our Canadian operations and that Don will continue to contribute to the success of our clients. Guy Carpenter’s long-term commitment to maintaining a deep talent pool is clearly evidenced by Peter’s promotion. His decades of local market knowledge and understanding of the unique demands of our clients will ensure that our Canadian operations continue to go from strength to strength.”
