Global claims services provider McLarens is strengthening Middle East leadership with two senior appointments, based in Dubai.
Mahesh Ganesan has been appointed as Operations Director – Middle East, tasked with overseeing regional operations, with a focus on improving efficiency and delivering a consistent, high-quality service for clients across the region.
He has been part of McLarens since 2009, when he joined the company as an intern in the UK and has since built a career spanning technical, operational and leadership roles within the organisation.
In 2014 the executive relocated to Dubai and has played a central role in developing the Middle East business since.
McLarens has also appointed Ollie Waterman as Commercial Development Director – Middle East.
Previously Head of Property for the Middle East at an international loss- adjusting firm, Waterman brings extensive experience in managing major losses across Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa.
His new responsibilities include leading commercial development, client engagement, and market expansion.
Steven Wallace, Managing Director, EMEA, commented: “The Middle East is an important region for McLarens, and these appointments reflect our commitment to investing in the right leadership to support our clients and grow sustainably.”
He added: “Mahesh’s journey through the business – from intern to Operations Director – and his extensive operational expertise make him ideally placed to lead our Middle East operations. Ollie brings strong commercial insight and real technical credibility across the region. Together, they will be central to the continued development of our Middle East offering, and to ensuring we deliver the quality of service our clients expect.”
