Global re/insurer Chubb has announced the appointment of Jason Keen as president of its global markets division, effective early 2020.
Keen will oversee and lead the strategy and performance of the division, which comprises Chubb’s London market wholesale and specialty business including the firm’s Lloyd’s platform.

Keen then went on to assume overall responsibility for the firm’s Property and Casualty portfolio in the region.
He previously worked for Lloyd’s syndicates Talbot Underwriting and Ascot Underwriting.
Keen will report to David Furby, regional president of Chubb European group, and succeeds Matthew Shaw, who is leaving the company.

“I am delighted to appoint Jason to lead our Chubb Global Markets business,” Furby added.
“He brings a wealth of insurance knowledge and business leadership experience to the role. I have great confidence in his ability to lead our wholesale business at a time of utmost importance and I am very much looking forward to working with him in his new remit.”
