Chubb Limited announced on March 11 that Seshadri (Sesh) Iyer has been named Executive Vice President, Chubb Group, Operations, Technology and Digital Transformation, effective April 6. He will succeed Julie Dillman, who is retiring on April 2 after nearly a decade with the company.
The appointment marks a leadership transition in Chubb’s efforts to advance its digital integration across underwriting, sales, and service operations worldwide. The company said Iyer will oversee global operations and technology and work closely with Sean Ringsted, Chief Digital Business Officer. He will report to Evan G. Greenberg, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Chubb Limited and Chubb Group, as well as John Keogh, President and Chief Operating Officer of Chubb Group.
“On behalf of all of us at Chubb and me personally, I want to thank Julie for her leadership over her distinguished tenure,” said Greenberg. “Julie has been instrumental in building and leading our technology and operations organization. She brought a professionalism, drive and discipline to our technology transformation efforts that lays a strong foundation for our future evolution. I am immensely grateful for her contributions and wish her well in her retirement.” Greenberg added, “Sesh is an accomplished executive who brings a wealth of experience in creating large-scale technology-enabled change and using data and technology to drive competitive advantage. He has my complete confidence to lead our global operations and technology organization.”
Iyer joins from Boston Consulting Group (BCG), where he spent nearly two decades working with clients across financial services in North America, Europe, and Asia. Most recently he served as North America chair for BCG X—the firm’s tech design unit—and led BCG’s Americas work in lean services for IT operations.
According to the official website, Greenberg serves as a key figure in Chubb’s leadership as chairman and CEO. The company was formed through the 2016 acquisition of the original Chubb Corporation under its current name according to the official website. Since then, Greenberg has led the company as chairman and CEO according to the official website.
Chubb focuses on delivering property and casualty insurance along with supplemental health coverage and reinsurance globally according to the official website. The insurer maintains operations across 54 countries and territories worldwide according to the official website.
Looking ahead, Iyer will be supported by Gordon Mackechnie (Global Head of Technology), Mike Jones (Global Operations Officer), Jamie Trish (Global Transformation Officer), while Rakshit Kapoor (Global Data Officer) will report both to him and Ringsted. As reported by the company’s official site here, Chubb offers commercial and personal property insurance products alongside supplemental health coverage.
