Global reinsurance brokerage and advisory firm Gallagher Re has announced the appointment of Carlos Grijalva as executive director and head of network for Asia Pacific.
Grijalva is reportedly based in Hong Kong and has extensive experience in underwriting and brokerage in Asia Pacific’s online markets.
Most recently, he served as Asia Network Sales Director for WTW Willis, where he was responsible for driving sales initiatives, increasing market participation and expanding distribution throughout the region.
During more than two years at Willis, Grijalva also served as network director for Hong Kong and Greater China, helping to grow the company’s network business in North Asia.
Prior to joining Willis, he held senior positions at major insurance companies, where he gained experience in product development, underwriting and sales management while delivering sustained growth across multiple markets.
Gallagher Re said that in his new role, Grijalva will work closely with the Asia Pacific team, the global network team and Gallagher colleagues to develop and expand network capabilities across the entire value chain in the region.
The company added that Grijalva’s appointment reflects the company’s commitment to strengthening its local presence in one of the fastest-growing regions for cyber risk and insurance, amid a rapidly growing client base in Asia Pacific.
