Sedgwick has announced the appointment of John Stanzi as president of casualty operations for the Americas.

Stanzi succeeds Jim Ryan, who was recently named COO of the Americas. Stanzi previously served as managing director of casualty operations.

“Since joining Sedgwick, John’s strong leadership skills and broad insurance experience have been extremely valuable in our ongoing efforts to improve and expand our services,” Ryan said. “In his new role, John will focus on leading and supporting all colleagues across our casualty lines to further enhance the expertise and results we deliver to our clients and the employees and consumers they serve.”

“I’m excited to be part of Sedgwick in this leadership capacity,” Stanzi said. “Having the opportunity to work closely with Jim and Sedgwick’s other leaders has been an honor. I am confident that my established relationships and industry experience will enable our team to build on the momentum and success of Sedgwick’s casualty operations.”
