In an effort to forge stronger ties with current clients and partners and spearhead a new phase of investment in the area, the company has announced the appointment of Christian Erickson as general manager of APAC (Asia-Pacific).

Having over 25 years of expertise in professional services and enterprise software, Erickson comes to Duck Creek from Versent, where he was the general manager of growth.

He achieved exceptional commercial outcomes at Versent by working with leading Australian public and private sector organizations to combine cloud, digital, data, and security capabilities.

He has also been a member of the financial services leadership team at Accenture and has managed the banking, financial services, and insurance (BFSI) team at Cognizant.

Driven by new and growing client collaborations and the introduction of new products including Duck Creek Reinsurance, Duck Creek Clarity, and Duck Creek Payments, Duck Creek has recently seen fast expansion in the APAC area.

With an experience in multi-region software services, Erickson has the know-how to oversee large expenditures in people, equipment, and resources, ensuring Duck Creek keeps its word to both current and potential clients.

"Given our growth and execution, Duck Creek is increasingly seen as the dependable brand leader for P&C and general insurance customers," stated chief sales officer Rohit Bedi. Christian is the perfect person to oversee Duck Creek's investment in the Asia-Pacific area because of his strong leadership abilities, customer-first mentality, and in-depth knowledge of the insurance industry. In order to continue our expansion and provide value to our clients throughout APAC, Christian's leadership will be essential.

"I am thrilled to join Duck Creek and leverage my international experience across general insurance, property and casualty, reinsurance, and broking to benefit our customers and partners in the region," said Christian Erickson, expressing his excitement over the company's acquisition. It's quite amazing how committed Duck Creek is to helping consumers and changing the insurance sector. I'm excited to collaborate with the skilled Duck Creek team and our ecosystem partners to help insurers in Asia achieve profitable business objectives.
