Sedgwick, a global provider of technology-enabled risk, has announced the appointment of Diego Ascani as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of its Australia operations.
Ascani, who brings over 27 years’ experience to the role, was previously Chief Operating Officer (COO) and Head of inTrust, Australia at Cunningham Lindsey, a company acquired by Sedgwick in early 2018.
Ascani will be reporting to CEO of International operations, Ian Muress, in a role that sees him join Sedgwick’s Asia-Pacific senior executive team.
“The Asia-Pacific leadership team is working together to bring the best of Sedgwick to our clients,” Muress said.
“In recent months, Diego has played a central role in the Australian management team, bringing his operational skills and third-party administration experience to overseeing the integration of Cunningham Lindsey and Sedgwick.
“He and the rest of the Asia-Pacific team are committed to our growth ambitions in Australia and the wider region.
“Our clients remain at the forefront of our business and central to our operations. Under Diego’s leadership, we will continue to develop and enhance our services to ensure they reflect their changing business needs and the evolution of the global risk landscape,” added Muress.
