Chubb appoints deputy general counsel for global affairs

Property/casualty insurer Chubb has appointed Gina Rebollar as deputy general counsel, global corporate affairs, succeeding Chris Kearns, who is leaving the company to pursue other interests.

Rebollar will lead the company's global corporate affairs team with responsibility for legal matters related to global corporate, corporate finance, mergers and acquisitions, asset management and intellectual property. She will work closely with Chubb's board of directors and advise the company's corporate development, treasury, human resources and global communications functions as well as other members of senior management on various matters.

Rebollar rejoins Chubb from Clever Leaves, where she served as general counsel for the past year. From 2011 to 2019, Rebollar served as senior vice president and managing counsel, global corporate affairs at Chubb.

Rebollar is based in New York and reports to Joe Wayland, executive vice president, Chubb Group and General Counsel.

Kearns will serve as a consultant to Chubb through the end of 2020.

Wayland said: "We are delighted to welcome Gina back to Chubb, particularly in this important role where she will be engaged on a broad range of significant matters across the company. For eight years, she was a key member of our Global Corporate Affairs team, working closely with Chris. We are fortunate to again benefit from her experience, skills, perspective and insights. With her deep knowledge of Chubb, we expect a seamless transition as Gina assumes her new role.

"We thank Chris for his 13 years with the company," he added. "He has been a trusted and valued advisor to senior management, to the Board and to all of the functional team members with whom he worked. Chris served in this role during a period of tremendous growth and change, and we benefited from his judgment, commitment and experience. We wish the best to Chris in his future adventures."
