Malaysia – Chubb has appointed Jon Longmore as the new country president of Malaysia, pending regulatory and other approvals. Longmore will succeed Stephen Crouch, who has taken on the role of head of government affairs for the Asia Pacific region.

Starting in early November, Longmore will oversee Chubb’s operations and overall performance in Malaysia. Based in Kuala Lumpur, he will continue to report to Marcos Gunn, regional president for Asia Pacific.

Longmore began his 13-year career at Chubb in Australia, where he held various roles across underwriting, distribution, and partnerships. In 2018, he was appointed head of digital for the Asia Pacific region before taking on his most recent position as country president of PT Chubb General Insurance in 2020.

Speaking about Longmore’s appointment, Gunn said, “Jon is an experienced international insurance professional with a track record of driving sustainable business growth. His keen focus on innovation and passion for building teams position him well to further grow our business in Malaysia.”

In the interim, Adrianto Gunawan, chief financial officer for Indonesia, will assume the additional responsibilities of country president until a permanent successor is appointed.
