Risk and claims administration specialist Sedgwick has appointed Dan Sivertsen as the CEO of its Sweden unit, effective on 20 September.

Sivertsen will also continue in his current position as CEO of Sedgwick Norway. 

Sivertsen joined the company in 2019 after Sedgwick acquired Nordic Loss Adjusting.  

He brings more than 20 years of experience in the insurance and risk management industry to his new position.  

His background includes a strong focus on claims management and regional leadership, with insights into the Swedish market, where he previously collaborated with local clients and colleagues. 

Sivertsen stated: “I look forward to stepping into this role to ensure our talented teams remain fully committed to upholding the highest standards of quality, partnership and responsiveness for our clients and customers in Sweden and throughout the Nordics.” 

Sedgwick regional CEO International – Europe Xavier Gazay said: “Dan’s expanded role is a testament to our commitment to building a unified Nordic strategy that Christian has been leading.  

“Dan’s regional expertise and client-centric approach will help us continue to drive operational excellence and deliver consistent, high-value outcomes across Norway, Sweden and Europe more broadly.” 

Sedgwick provides a range of services including claims administration, loss adjusting and benefits administration. 

The Carlyle Group is the majority shareholder in Sedgwick, with Stone Point Capital, Altas Partners, CDPQ, Onex and other management investors holding minority shares. 

Earlier this year, Sedgwick announced the acquisition of the legal spend management division of Bottomline, which offers cloud-based software applications to the property and casualty insurance industry.
