Move follows initial management restructuring last month

Crawford & Company has announced that the new combined EMEA/Asia Pacific region, under the leadership of Ian V Muress, will be managed by three Chief Executive Officers.

The move follows a range of executive changes last month.

Within the EMEA region, Benedict Burke (previously Chief Operating Officer, UK & Ireland) becomes Chief Executive Officer, UK & Ireland, whilst Charlotte von Krogh (previously Operations Manager, CEMEA [Continental Europe, Middle East and Africa]) based in Oslo, becomes Chief Executive Officer, CEMEA. Richard Martin, based in Singapore, continues as Chief Executive Officer, Asia Pacific but now reports to Muress.

Both Muress and Burke will still maintain the same degree of personal client contact via the London Regional Head Office, where they will continue to be based.

Muress said: “These important developments strengthen the existing management team and allow us to leverage best practice across a much wider geography for the benefit of our clients. Working from our London Office will allow me to maintain close relationships with our key clients in the area.

He added: “I am very excited about the future. The management changes announced today will liberate more talent than ever before to better serve our clients’ needs and contribute to our future growth as a consolidated region.”
