Sedgwick announces new international chief executive

Sedgwick has announced that Paul White will be promoted into the role of chief executive for international next year.

White is currently the regional chief executive of international and will take on his new role on 1 January 2026.

He has been in his current role for the past six years, overseeing operations in the UK, Australia, Asia, the Middle East, New Zealand and South Africa.

Prior to that, he held leadership roles as Sedgwick’s UK chief executive and chief operating officer. 

“His extensive experience in insurance and risk management has been instrumental in driving Sedgwick’s success and strengthening its global operations,” Sedgwick said.

In his new role, White will continue to lead strategic efforts across international markets, working closely with regional chief executives and operational teams to deliver innovative propositions and service to clients worldwide.

Retirement

White will transition into the new role following the retirement of Tom Simoncic, president of global property and international.

”Simoncic has provided 18 years of dedicated service to Sedgwick,” Sedgwick said.

”His deep expertise in the property business and his thoughtful, people-first leadership have left an enduring mark on the organisation.

”Under his guidance, Sedgwick’s international business achieved consistent growth and outstanding results, always with a focus on colleagues and clients.”
