Liberty Mutual revamps GTS leadership in growth push

Liberty Mutual Insurance has revamped the leadership structure at its  Liberty Global Transaction Solutions (GTS) unit, which facilitates mergers and acquisitions (M&A) insurance transactions globally.

Markus Messinger (pictured) has been appointed as head of Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA). The new structure will include a series of newly-created roles, all reporting to Messinger.

Daniel Müller and Sebastian Schmitt have been named co-heads of Germany, Austria and Switzerland (DACH); Louise Nordkvist as head of Nordics; Henry Pearson and Adam Smith as co-heads of London & Emerging Markets; and Nick Lunn as head of Southern Europe.

Messinger joined Liberty GTS in 2017, and established the GTS practice in Frankfurt and more recently built out and managed its wider Northern European business.

Liberty GTS president Rowan Bamford said: “Our EMEA business has continued to outperform significantly throughout 2021. The new structure will help us to continue this momentum and grow further. Markus will have overall responsibility for the EMEA business and will work directly with me on the strategy to build out our footprint across the region, while his new team will take responsibility for the region in their respective titles.

"The structure will support us in continuing to service brokers and clients with centralized M&A insurance capabilities across an international network of offices, backed by a dedicated claims management team.”
