With over 14 years of insurance experience in claims and risk engineering functions across the UK and Asia, he holds a fire safety and risk management degree and is a Member of the Institute of Fire Engineers (MIFireE).

“We are pleased to welcome Danny and Matthew to our team as we continue investing in strengthening our capabilities in Asia. The appointments support our ambition to expand our reach across markets and to better serve clients’ needs by providing custom-tailored solutions and best risk advisory. We are constantly looking to provide greater value to our clients guaranteeing an in-depth knowledge of their business needs,” GC&C Asia head Axel Roesner said.
