Steadfast-owned Mecon Insurance has appointed Kishan Dasan as GM.

Mr Dasan joins the construction insurance specialist from WTW after more than two years as the broker’s director of strategic growth for construction and natural resources. Before WTW, he was at AIG for 13 years working on large Australian construction and mining projects.

“Kishan’s knowledge and leadership skills will strengthen our management team and assist in our focus of providing market-leading service, profitable products and innovative insurance solutions,” Mecon CEO Glenn Ross said.

Mecon is part of Underwriting Agencies of Australia, which is majority owned by Steadfast.

The two businesses merged in 2022 to form a combined mobile plant, equipment and construction insurance group.

Underwriting Agencies of Australia Group CEO Stan Alexandropoulos says Mr Dasan’s experience in the construction insurance market across the Asia-Pacific region, coupled with his background in construction underwriting, makes him an invaluable addition to the Mecon team.
