Re/insurance broker Gallagher has announced the appointment of Dave Partington as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of its Canadian retail property and casualty (P&C) brokerage operations.
In this capacity, he will lead the strategy and culture for continued growth in the country.
Partington joined Gallagher in 2012, initially leading the regional offices of Gallagher Heath in the UK.
In 2014, he relocated to the US as President of the Small Business Practice for Gallagher’s retail P/C brokerage operations.
While in the US, Partington grew the practice’s revenue, created a sales and service infrastructure, led and supported multiple mergers, and enhanced market relationships.
Prior to joining Gallagher, he held leadership positions with two other large brokerages.
“Dave is an industry leader and, with the significant growth we have seen across Canada in the last few years, there is nobody better positioned than him to lead the Canadian retail P/C brokerage operations,” said Patrick M. Gallagher, Chairman of Gallagher Canada, Caribbean and South America.
“I am looking forward to my new role,” added Partington. “With a strong leadership team already in place coupled with tremendous growth opportunities, it is a very exciting time for Gallagher in Canada.”
