Chubb appoints new property manager for NA commercial

Insurer Chubb has named Michelle McLaughlin executive vice president and property manager for its North America commercial insurance division.

McLaughlin succeeds Edward Radzinski, who is set to retire at the end of August after 39-year at Chubb.

In this capacity, McLaughlin will oversee the retail commercial property and package property insurance business that serves the middle market in North America, through 48 offices in the United States and Canada. She will report to Paul Lewis, executive vice president and chief underwriting officer, Commercial Insurance.

McLaughlin most recently served as package property manager for commercial insurance at Chubb.

"Michelle's deep underwriting knowledge and her proven leadership capabilities will be instrumental in focusing on the growth of the organization while helping our commercial property clients in North America protect their assets" said Lewis. "I look forward to working with her to build our future property business."

Derek Talbott, division chairman North America property, commented: "Michelle is going to provide enormous value in her new role. She will play a vital part in executing Chubb's property strategy in North America, and I'm confident that her broad industry experience will enable her to meet the evolving risks of our global property customers."

Lewis added: "For more than three decades, Ed (Edward Radzinski) played a key role in developing the property underwriting discipline, capabilities and products for the organization. I want to express my deepest thanks and appreciation for his steady hand in developing our people and our business, and we wish him well in his retirement."
