Sedgwick continues Asia leadership overhaul with more changes

Technology-driven risk solutions provider Sedgwick has revealed new leaders for its operations in Indonesia  following key leadership changes in Singapore, as part of its strategy to bolster its presence and footprint in Asia in 2021 and beyond.

Andri Dirgantara, who currently serves as director of Sedgwick in Indonesia, will assume the role of president director, effective 1 January 2021. He succeeds Paul Hough who has recently been appointed CEO for Singapore.

Dirgantara has worked with Sedgwick for more than 18 years in a variety of key industry sectors, including construction, energy and engineering. He has worked on various large-scale losses in the region, including during the Java and Sumatra earthquakes in 2006 and 2009.

Additionally, David Ashe, who is currently technical adviser, has been promoted to technical director for the operation.

Ashe is a technical loss adjuster with a background in accounting and finance. Having worked in the UK until 2016, he then joined Sedgwick’s operations in Indonesia, where he has handled many major and complex losses and undertaken catastrophe assignments in Australia and the Caribbean.

Both the appointments are effective January 1, 2021.

James Ong, Sedgwick CEO for Asia, said: “I very much look forward to working with Andri and David in 2021 to strengthen our presence and footprint in Indonesia. Having worked in the industry for many years, their knowledge of the business and the region will ensure that our clients benefit from exceptional technical experience and local expertise.”
