ACE Names Hudson as Global Head of Trade Credit Insurance Business

ACE Group announced the appointment of Julian Hudson as head of Trade Credit, ACE Global Markets, effective immediately.

In his new role, Hudson will be responsible for the development and profitable growth of ACE’s global trade credit business, the company said in a statement.

Hudson joined ACE in 2007 to launch the company’s political risk and trade credit office in Singapore. After a successful seven-year tenure in Asia Pacific, he was appointed to the newly created, London-based role of chief development officer, responsible for the promotion of ACE’s new political risk and trade credit insurance products, and the company’s distribution strategy for this line of business.

Prior to joining ACE, he held positions at Jardine Lloyd Thompson Asia and Euler Trade Indemnity in the U.K. He will continue to be based in London, reporting to Julian Edwards, head of Political Risk & Credit for ACE Global Markets.

Hudson’s appointment follows ACE’s recent expansion of its political risk and credit division to Japan, where the company now offers its Japanese clients a broad range of comprehensive trade credit insurance solutions, with market-leading levels of capacity, ACE said.

Hudson’s experience “in areas like new product development and distribution combined with his market knowledge, will contribute greatly to our effort to provide our clients with the comprehensive and secure, long-term trade credit solutions they need to confront today’s complex global challenges,” said Julian Edwards, head of Political Risk & Credit for ACE Global Markets.
