He will oversee the company’s accident and health portfolio and distribution strategies for all business lines.

Mr Brooks joins on December 1 from Aon, where he was part of the national business development team.

His new role was created after Ace set up a distribution and client management unit for the Asia-Pacific region, to strengthen relationships with partners.

The unit will also work with large Asia-Pacific clients.
