Sedgwick, a global provider of technology-enabled risk, benefits and integrated business solutions, has named Neil Gibson its CEO in the UK.
According to Sedgwick, Gibson holds more than 18 years of insurance industry leadership experience and decades of operational claims management and colleague development expertise.
He most recently served as COO of Sedgwick’s operations in the UK, New Zealand, Middle East, Africa and Asia. Gibson also currently serves on Sedgwick’s global ESG committee.
Commenting on his new position, Gibson said, “I am honoured to step into this new role as CEO and to continue to grow Sedgwick’s business and resources in the UK.
“From my four years as COO to this new role, my focus remains on our people, as they are our most important asset in the work we do. I am committed to delivering on our values and objectives for the benefit of our 2,000+ UK colleagues and the valued clients we serve.”
Paul White, who has been serving as Sedgwick CEO for the UK, New Zealand, Middle East, Africa and Asia, will retain oversight of Sedgwick’s business in the UK and other international territories as regional CEO.
