Large US insurer Chubb has announced the appointment of Seshadri Iyer as Executive Vice President, Chubb Group, Operations, Technology and Digital Transformation, effective 6th April 2026.
Iyer succeeds Julie Dillman, who is retiring on 2nd April after nearly a decade with the company, including serving in her current role since January 2022.
In this role, Iyer will have executive oversight of Chubb’s global operations and technology and will work closely with Sean Ringsted, Chief Digital Business Officer, to continue advancing the company’s transformation into a digitally integrated organisation across underwriting, sales, and service operations globally.
He will report to Evan G. Greenberg, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Chubb Limited and Chubb Group, and John Keogh, President and Chief Operating Officer of Chubb Group.
Iyer joins Chubb after nearly 20 years at Boston Consulting Group (BCG), where he engaged with clients across industries, including financial services in North America, Europe, and Asia. Most recently, he served as North America chair for BCG X, the firm’s tech design and build unit. He also led BCG’s work in the Americas in lean services, technology operations, IT, and cloud computing.
Gordon Mackechnie, Global Head of Technology; Mike Jones, Global Operations Officer and Head of North America Operations and Technology; and Jamie Trish, Global Transformation Officer, will report to Iyer. Meanwhile, Rakshit Kapoor, Global Data Officer, will report to both Iyer and Ringsted.
“On behalf of all of us at Chubb and me personally, I want to thank Julie for her leadership over her distinguished tenure,” said Greenberg. “Julie has been instrumental in building and leading our technology and operations organisation. She brought a professionalism, drive and discipline to our technology transformation efforts that lays a strong foundation for our future evolution. I am immensely grateful for her contributions and wish her well in her retirement.”
Greenberg added, “Sesh is an accomplished executive who brings a wealth of experience in creating large-scale technology-enabled change and using data and technology to drive competitive advantage. He has my complete confidence to lead our global operations and technology organisation.”
