MDD is pleased to announce that Sal Achrafi has been promoted to Partner in our Australian operations.
Sal is an energetic and enthusiastic member of the Australian insurance market and has developed considerable experience quantifying damages in Australia, New Zealand and across the region. Fluent in Arabic, he has also worked on engagements in the Middle East.
Sal is a relied-upon professional expert and team member who began his career with MDD in 2011, joining not long after the Queensland floods and has risen from Staff Accountant to Partner since that time. As a vital member of the firm’s CAT team, he has worked extensively on numerous catastrophes, including the Christchurch earthquakes, Cyclone Winston, and multiple floods and bushfires.
Paul McGowan, Global Managing Partner, noted, “Sal brings an incredible passion and entrepreneurial spirit to MDD. Over the past decade, he has been critical in developing the firm’s presence in the Australian market. MDD looks forward to seeing him expand the breadth of MDD’s services to its existing clients and assemble the resources needed to serve clients in new markets. His elevation to partnership is well-deserved.”
