Quantum Private Clients has made two senior appointments in its expanding specialist high net worth team.  

Dean Pell becomes national head of appraisals and risk management, and Rachel Meyer is head of operations.  

Melbourne-based Mr Pell joins the underwriting agency from Chubb, where he was a senior risk consultant appraising prestige homes insured under the Signature and Masterpiece brands.

He has also held senior roles at AIG Private Client Group and ran his own prestige home appraisal company.  

Sydney-based Ms Meyer will have operational responsibility for underwriting, claims, risk management and compliance.  

She joins from Sedgwick, where she was risk, compliance and assurance specialist.

She previously spent two decades at Chubb in Australia and the UK, finishing as Asia-Pacific regional claims quality assurance officer in 2022. 

“We are delighted to welcome both Rachel and Dean to our expanding team,” Quantum Private Clients MD Neil Shackleton said.

“They both bring a wealth of experience in their specialist fields and their strong reputations in the Australian high net worth market will make them exceptionally valuable assets to both our business and our broking partners.”
