Chubb reveals leadership for new positions in UK and Ireland
Property/casualty insurer Chubb has filled two newly-created senior management positions in the UK and Ireland with the appointment of Sara Mitchell and Mark Roberts.
Both the executives will be based in London, reporting to division president for Chubb in the UK and Ireland David Robinson.
The company plans to evolve its structure to serve the future insurance and risk management needs of brokers and clients in the region, it said in a statement.
Mitchell, currently the vice president of speciality personal lines for Europe, Eurasia and Africa and Asia Pacific, has been appointed as the head of corporate division for UK and Ireland.
Roberts, currently the UK and Ireland casualty manager, has been promoted to serve as property/casualty chief underwriting officer for UK and Ireland.
In her new role, Mitchell will be responsible for Chubb's middle market segment strategy, with additional responsibility for sales and distribution, underwriting centres and product development.
Mitchell will be one of three leaders overseeing the company's core retail property/casualty customer segments. She joins Suresh Krishnan, recently named as the head of global accounts division for Europe, responsible for its global and large account segment and Ruth Polyblank, head of SME in the UK and Ireland, responsible for the company's small and medium-sized (SME) business segment.
Mitchell joined Chubb in 2011 from RSA, where she was responsible for SME commercial schemes.
Roberts, in his new role, will oversee the strategy for all P&C product lines in the region, working with the segment heads. All P&C product line heads in the UK and Ireland will report to him. He will also set product guidelines and have technical oversight for product development, develop underwriting-related business intelligence and ensure that Chubb's underwriting guidelines are followed.
Roberts joined Chubb in 1999 as multinational casualty underwriter and since then he has held a number of senior casualty underwriting and management roles.
Robinson said: "Sara has a stellar track record of managing a growing, international business and P&L. Her appointment underlines our commitment of taking a customer-centric approach right across our business, and the importance of smart segmentation in the middle market to meet customer needs and deliver growth. With three dedicated leaders in place, our leadership team is now better placed than ever to serve our core corporate, global accounts and SME customers."
He added: "Mark's is a well-deserved promotion for an insurance professional widely known and respected in the market, and one that will ensure our P&C offering meets our brokers and clients' evolving needs. I am delighted that Mark and Sara are joining our senior management team and look forward to working with them in their new roles."
