Australian insurer QBE Insurance Group Ltd. said Tuesday that Todd Jones, CEO of its North American operations since 2019, is leaving the company.

Julie Wood, who joined QBE earlier this year as group head of distribution, has been appointed as interim CEO North America, QBE said.

Mr. Jones will leave QBE at the end of August and work with Ms. Wood to ensure a smooth transition, the insurer said.

Prior to joining QBE in January, Ms. Wood was South East partnership and zonal leader and a member of the U.S. executive committee at Marsh LLC.

QBE said it is conducting a search to fill the role of CEO North America on a permanent basis.
