Commenting on his new position, Green said; “Having spent a large part of my career looking at the insurance industry from a customer and regulatory perspective, it’s great to be able to now use that experience and insight to support a firm like Gallagher, on the ground. I very much look forward to working with the executive leadership team and my fellow independent non-executive directors, to help Gallagher achieve its vision.”
