The UK&I broking operations will be chaired by Barnaby Rugge-Price, currently Deputy Chair, Howden Broking Group.  He will be supported by Deputy Chairs Paul Redgate, currently CEO Global Specialty, and Mark Wood, Head of Global Practices. 
 
Among the announcements, Asia Pacific insurance broking will be chaired by Mark Wood, with Goh Chye Huat and Matt Bacon leading Asia and Pacific respectively. 
 
In reinsurance broking, Rob Bredahl leads Howden Tiger as CEO, supported by Rod Fox as Executive Chairman, Tim Ronda as President, and Elliot Richardson as Vice Chair.
