With more than 30 years of experience in the global insurance market, Mark Lingafelter has been a senior leader in some of the industry’s biggest firms, including a stint as chief underwriting officer for QBE’s Asia-Pacific operations and 11 years as managing director of Chubb Australia.

While Lingafelter has yet to complete a full year with BHSI, having been appointed to the role of president last June, the firm has made no secret about its growth ambitions, and all eyes will be on Lingafelter as he helps to execute its expansion strategy.

“With more than 30 years of experience in the global insurance market, Mark is well qualified to lead our ongoing profitable growth in Australia and New Zealand,” BHSI president and CEO Peter Eastwood said when announcing Lingafelter’s appointment last June.
