Chubb fills leadership team with surprise appointment

"This marks an exciting new chapter for our business where growth, innovation, along with customer and partner experience are our absolute priorities,” Chief Executive Paula ter Brake says in an email to advisers.

Perhaps the surprising appointment is seeing former AIA executive Sharron Botica (pictured) joining as Chief Customer and Marketing Officer.

“Sharron brings extensive executive experience in life and health insurance, including multiple C-suite roles at AIA,” ter Brake says.

“She is widely respected for her strategic vision, integrity and ability to drive growth and transformation. Sharron’s deep customer expertise, industry relationships and muti-national experience will be a tremendous asset to Chubb Life.”
