“An exciting time for Chubb”
Andrew White, CEO, Chubb Fire & Security Group commented: “We are very excited to announce the bolstering of the Executive Leadership Team with both external and internal hires at an exciting time for Chubb.
“The acquisition of the business by APi marked an important turning point for the business, shifting focus to a model with a greater priority on digitalisation as well as allowing us more penetration in the North American market where APi has historically always been strong.
“I have been working closely with the new team as we continue our transformational journey and prioritise the wellbeing of our people, the efficiency of our processes and the selective expansion of our portfolio towards new markets and solutions.”
In January 2022, Chubb Fire & Security was acquired from previous owners Carrier by APi Group Corporation.
