HDI Global Specialty SE, the specialty lines insurer, has appointed John Button as Head of Global Distribution and Business Development for its Global operations.
John will report to Richard Taylor, Member of the Executive Board and Chief Marketing Officer.
He will replace Alan Waters, who held the position for the last three and a half years and left the Company by mutual agreement last month.
John, who previously reported to Waters, has worked for HDI Global SE for 8 years and has held the position of Strategic Relationship Manager at HDI Global Specialty for the past 3 years.
Taylor said: “I am delighted with the appointment, John has gained vast experience in strategic management of distribution working with Alan and I wish him every success in his new role. This is an important role for HDI as our specialty lines business very much relies on the support and partnership of our brokers.”
Button added: “This new role presents an exciting opportunity for me and I am really looking forward to working with Richard to continue to build our market reputation with our broker partners.”
Last month, the company announced other management changes. David Hullin will take over from Jens Wohlthat on the Management Board, who retires at the end of September 2022.
