ACE has promoted Andrey Sedov to the newly created position of head of property risk engineering for Eurasia and Africa, as the company continues to build its risk management capability for clients across its newest regional business and around the world.

Currently property risk engineer for Russia and Turkey, Sedov will be responsible in his new role for managing ACE’s team of property risk engineers based in the region and providing support and guidance to ACE Arabia, the company’s joint venture in Saudi Arabia.

Under his leadership, the team will provide coordinated, dedicated and responsive support to property underwriters across the region, ACE said in a statement.
