QBE Insurance has appointed Pat Regan, who joined QBE in the role of group chief financial officer in June 2014, as an executive director.
In addition, Jann Skinner and Stephen Fitzgerald have been appointed as non-executive directors.
QBE also said that non-executive directors Isabel Hudson and Duncan Boyle will retire at the end of the year.
QBE’s chairman, Marty Becker said that the retirements and appointments were a continuing part of the planned board succession process undertaken over the past two years and provide a suitable transition period for the incoming directors to benefit from the experience of long serving directors Hudson and Boyle.
Becker said: “We are very fortunate that such high calibre people as Jann and Stephen have chosen to join the QBE board as non-executive directors. Financial leadership is critically important to QBE’s strategies and success, and we are also pleased that Pat has accepted our invitation to join the board.”
