Chubb reveals new Canada president replacing Moore

Property/casualty insurer Chubb has appointed John Alfieri, currently executive vice president of North America major accounts field operations, as new president of Canadian operations.

Alfieri replaces current head of Chubb Canada Ellen Moore, who is retiring at the end of the year.

Moore will become chair of Canadian operations, where she will work through the remainder of the year in an advisory capacity to Alfieri to ensure a smooth transition.

In his new role, Alfieri will have executive operating responsibility for the organisation's retail property and casualty insurance business including high net worth personal lines, and accident and health offerings for Canadian-based clients served by independent brokers and agents. He will oversee delivery of Chubb's full portfolio of solutions to agent and broker distribution partners through four branch offices across Canada and will also oversee all facets of the business including strategy, product and business development, underwriting and service operations, and profit and loss performance. Alfieri will report to Chris Maleno, senior vice president, Chubb Group, and division president, North America field operations.

Alfieri began his career with Chubb in 2004 and has more than 39 years of experience in the risk management and insurance industry, predominantly focused in the large-account and multinational segment. Previously he served as Chubb's regional executive officer for the New York region and held various leadership roles at ACE prior to its merger with Chubb.

Moore began her career in Personal Risk Services in Home Office joining the Professional Associate program in 1979. Throughout her tenure at Chubb, she has held a variety of senior leadership positions including managing director and senior vice president for its regional operations in Washington, D.C., Maryland and Virginia. She served as vice president of the Hartford, Connecticut branch, as well as vice president of personal insurance covering Canadian and Eastern US territories.

"We are fortunate to have had Ellen's expertise in running our Canadian operations," said Maleno. "Chubb is known for its seasoned bench of management and Ellen's leadership, knowledge, and experience have helped shape our company's reputation into what it is today. We are grateful for her staying on to assist John as he makes the transition into his new role. On behalf of the entire management team, I want to thank Ellen for the exceptional contributions she's made during her 40 years at Chubb and wish her the very best during her retirement."

He added: "Chubb has a diverse and thriving business in Canada, serving individuals, families and commercial clients of all sizes. John is an exceptionally well-rounded insurance executive with deep experience in risk management, distribution and underwriting. His unique background will be extremely valuable in serving the needs of our distribution partners and clients and fueling the next phase of our growth in this critical market."
