Sedgwick has appointed Michael Galea to the role of vice president of national operations in Canada.

For more than 10 years, Galea has worked in various business operations, with experience in managing teams, conducting risk and diligence assessments, and overseeing complex projects in both Canada and the US. He is a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants (CA) of Ontario.

Galea is also experienced in working within various accounting frameworks, such as the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and the US generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).

“Michael has a proven track record of growing business opportunities through close and detailed work alongside C-suite executives, so we are thrilled he has joined our operations leadership team,” said Sedgwick Canada president Mike Alwyn.

Alwyn added that Galea’s appointment comes during a time of “exciting expansion” for Sedgwick Canada, noting that Galea will work together with the company’s US and international operations leaders to ensure that its North American business steadily grows.

“I look forward to working with the regional team in Canada and our broader international colleague base to support Sedgwick’s mission of taking care of people by providing best-in-class integrated business solutions,” commented Galea.
