Sedgwick, a leading risk and claims administration partner, announced on Friday that Ken MacLean will transition from CEO to senior executive major and complex loss adjuster.
Sedgwick said Maclean will focus on continuing to deliver valuable outcomes for clients.
“During MacLean’s 11 years as CEO in South Africa, he helped build the operational foundation for the company’s next phase of growth and laid the groundwork for this leadership transition. He will continue to work with the team he developed to support the success of the business.”
“His 40 years in the industry and impressive acumen in handling claims will continue to support our long-term success, and I look forward to his continued excellent work with us,” Gibson said.
MacLean said he felt privileged to lead Sedgwick in South Africa and to work alongside many colleagues who have played an important role in the company's success.
“I am immensely proud of what we have achieved as a business and of the strong client relationships that have been built along the way. I am looking forward to moving to the next chapter in my career and to supporting Wayne,” he said.
Meanwhile, Sedgwick appointed Wayne Klingler as the new CEO in South Africa, and will lead the company’s strategic growth, strengthen client relationships, and advance operational excellence.
Gibson added that Klinger’s appointment as CEO reflected his extensive industry experience as well as his ability to lead through growth and change.
“He has consistently delivered strong outcomes across complex and evolving markets. We are confident he will continue to strengthen our business, support our colleagues, and create value for our clients and partners.”
Klingler brings more than 30 years of leadership experience in the loss adjusting industry, specialising in the investigation and management of large, complex claims.
Most recently, he was executive adjuster and head of operations for Sedgwick South Africa, leading complex claims and loss adjusting operations.
Klingler said that he was ready to take on the role of CEO and lead this business into its next chapter.
