Acrisure London Wholesale (ALW), the London-based wholesale division of Acrisure, has promoted Tom Quy to Managing Director, effective January 1, 2025.
He succeeds John Sutton, who will transition into a new role as a consultant, providing strategic guidance to the ALW management team. Quy will report to Simon Hedley, Global Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Acrisure Re.
Quy’s remit includes leading ALW’s overall business strategy, and collaborating closely with Acrisure’s senior leaders to identify growth opportunities and expand product offerings and solutions.
Additionally, he will focus on enhancing the existing team while continuing to attract top talent.
Quy with over 17 years of industry experience, joined ALW in 2019 as Senior Vice President, shortly after the London Wholesale business launched in 2018. He played a pivotal role in building ALW’s cyber wholesale practice and later launched Acrisure Re’s cyber reinsurance division, becoming the cyber practice leader.
He has previously held senior roles at Miller, Paragon International, and began his career at THB Group.
Hedley commented, “I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to John for his exceptional leadership, dedication, and the vision that led to the establishment of ALW. His efforts in founding and growing the business have been instrumental to its success, and we are fortunate to continue benefiting from his expertise in a consultancy capacity.
“Tom steps into this leadership role with a wealth of experience, deep market knowledge, and strong client relationships. I am confident in his ability to guide ALW into its next chapter as we expand our capabilities, grow our team, and pursue new opportunities in the London wholesale market.”
Quy added, “I am honoured to step into the role of Managing Director at ALW. It has been an incredible journey working alongside such a talented team, and I am excited to build on the strong foundation we have established under John’s leadership. I look forward to driving continued growth and delivering even greater value to our clients while upholding the high standards and innovative spirit that defines ALW.”
Sutton concluded, “I joined Acrisure in 2018 with a clear mission to establish and grow the wholesale business. Since then, our team has grown exponentially, and we’ve built a dynamic team where experienced producers and practitioners work alongside emerging talent. Tom has exceptional leadership skills and has been a key part of our success and I am proud to pass the baton to a new generation of leadership at ALW.”
