Gallagher Re has recruited London-based casualty broker Fabienne Marsoner (pictured) to its APAC facultative team, adding experience in general liability, life sciences, and environmental risk across Middle East and Asian placements.

Marsoner joins as broker, APAC Casualty FAC, within the firm’s facultative reinsurance business in the region.

Marsoner most recently worked at Marsh in London, where she served as assistant vice president and international casualty broker. Her responsibilities included general liability and life sciences placements, with exposure to risks in the Middle East and Asia.

Her background also includes environmental impairment liability (EIL) experience across underwriting and broking roles. She previously held positions at Allianz Global Corporate & Specialty, including underwriting intern and junior EIL underwriter.

“Welcome to Gallagher Re, Fabienne, great to have you join the Global FAC team, expanding our casualty product expertise and international London market access to better serve our APAC clients,” said Pablo Muñoz, CEO-facultative reinsurance at Gallagher Re.

Broader facultative buildout

The appointment follows a series of hires across Gallagher Re’s facultative platform. In the US, the firm recently added property facultative specialists. These hires came during a period when rate reductions of 25% to 30% were recorded at the January 2026 renewals in the US and Canada, according to market data.

Gallagher Re has also established a global facultative leadership structure under Muñoz, who oversees teams across London, Singapore, Sydney, New York, and the Middle East.

Regional leadership changes

The hire also follows leadership changes in Asia-Pacific. Gallagher Re recently named Roshan Perera as managing director and head of APAC, with Richard Jones appointed chairman of the region.

These changes follow the departure of the former APAC head and the planned retirement of the region’s chairman, according to company statements issued in February 2026.

Context of APAC reinsurance conditions

Recent data published in Gallagher Re’s APAC Market Watch indicates that non-life premiums across the region grew by 6.0% in 2024, slightly below 6.4% in 2023, while insurance penetration remained at about 1.6% of GDP.

The report also notes that pricing improved in several territories at the 2025 renewals, with risk-adjusted rate reductions recorded in markets including Japan, the Philippines, and Taiwan.
