The Asia Risk Division will consist of Japanese, South Korean, and newly created Indian and Chinese divisions. These groups were created to focus on the cultural and economic specialization of these distinct markets, along with the risk management styles of these countries. These practice groups will report to Chris Condello. Understanding the specialized risk profiles of these particular countries, this new division will provide unique services to each individual country, coupled with a targeted focus on industry specialization. As this new division structure is implemented, it will align our business on a global scale while managed by a leadership team that understands the cultural aspects and economic details of each country.

Joining from Arthur J. Gallagher, Condello will be based in New York and will report directly to Ionel Rizea, CRB North America Chief Commercial Officer. Most recently serving as a Senior Client Executive focused on Complex Risks, he assisted in establishing both the Gallagher offices in India and Japan by recruiting talent and establishing reverse flow protocols to streamline business growth. He also previously held senior positions with Marsh, focused on development and growth of Asia-based clients seeking risk transfer services to support their international development. He brings a strong understanding of international business relations, sales development, and market penetration and branding associated with the establishment of new business in target countries throughout Asia.
