In this newly-created role, Louisa will be responsible for developing and delivering the diversity and inclusion strategy for Chubb across the two regions.

Louisa will report into Kate Richards, Senior Vice President, Human Resources, Europe, Eurasia and Africa. She will also have matrix reporting lines into Jeff Moghrabi, Division President, Continental Europe and David Robinson, Executive Vice President, Europe and Division President, UK and Ireland.

Louisa joined Chubb in 2014 as a Resourcing Business Partner, responsible for all recruitment across 14 countries within Europe. She is a steering committee member of Chubb's Gender Equality Network and founded Chubb's first UKI D&I Council. Louisa now acts as Program Lead across four project streams, promoting D&I activity to Chubb's executive team. 

As a founding member of the cross-market Gender Inclusion Network for insurance, Louisa helps connect managing agents and brokers to share best practice and drive change towards gender equality. In July 2017 she became Co-Chair of the network. Earlier this year, Louisa was awarded the Rising Star award in Diversity by WeAreTheCity. She also contributed to Lloyd's 'Holding up the mirror' report, reflecting on D&I practices across the insurance industry.

Andrew Kendrick, Regional President, Europe, said: "I am delighted that Louisa has been appointed to this role. She is a great ambassador for D&I and has worked enormously hard over the past three years to help develop and promote diversity at both Chubb and within the wider insurance community. This new position is a fitting reward for those efforts. As our Head of Diversity, Louisa will be able to strategically concentrate our efforts to continue to improve understanding around the importance and value of inclusion across our regions."
