Liberty Mutual appoints North America global risk exec

Liberty Mutual Insurance has appointed Marc Orloff to lead field operations for its North American commercial insurance operation, replacing Shaun Kelly, who is leaving the company.

Prior to his new position, Orloff led Liberty Mutual's Global Risk Solutions (GRS) field distribution team, which includes retail and wholesale field organisations, national broker management, and private equity and construction practices. He will continue to oversee these areas, and will add Liberty Mutual's client engagement programme, distribution strategy and analytics, and marketing and brand strategy to his portfolio.

Orloff will report to GRS North America president Tracy Ryan.

"Marc is a well-respected insurance executive with years of proven experience in underwriting and distribution leadership," said Ryan. "Under Marc's leadership, our field operations team will drive Liberty Mutual's North American business strategies by bringing our full suite of products to local markets and ensuring premier engagement with distribution partners and commercial clients."

Orloff added: "Liberty Mutual is exceptionally well positioned for growth. Through our 2017 acquisition of Ironshore and subsequent creation of the GRS division, Liberty Mutual significantly expanded its product breadth and expertise in the Excess & Surplus space. That investment is paying off in today's challenging market. When all of our capabilities are brought to bear, we offer everything needed in a commercial and specialty partner: financial stability, comprehensive solutions, specialized resources, exceptional experience, and a winning culture."
