Liberty Mutual Re makes key appointment to its casualty treaty team

Treaty reinsurer Liberty Mutual Re (LM Re), part of Liberty Mutual Insurance Group, has appointed Susan Burke as vice president and director of assumed reinsurance in its casualty treaty department. She will be based in LM Re’s office in Stamford, Connecticut.

Reporting to Thomas Greene, head of US casualty for LM Re, Burke will be responsible for producing, underwriting and servicing a portfolio of casualty treaty reinsurance accounts.

Dieter Winkel, president of Liberty Mutual Re said: “Susan’s background in general casualty classes makes her a tremendous addition to our team in Stamford. Her knowledge of the business combined with her legal background will be an invaluable asset to Liberty Mutual Re and our clients.”

Burke joins Liberty from the reinsurance unit of Swiss Re, where she most recently served as senior treaty underwriter, and previously as vice president and claims expert. She brings international experience to LM Re, through her work as claims manager and resident US counsel at the Gerling Group in Germany.
