Liberty Mutual swoops on Chubb for major accounts casualty role

Liberty Mutual Insurance has bolstered its global risk solutions (GRS) unit with the hiring of a senior casualty specialist from Chubb.

Neal Bhatnagar (pictured) has been appointed as executive vice president of major accounts casualty, GRS.

Based in Chicago, Bhatnagar will oversee the underwriting and risk management teams for a national accounts portfolio across such industries as construction and healthcare, as well as excess casualty and Liberty's growing sharing economy business. He will report to GRS president, major accounts, Mike Fallon.

In his new role, Bhatnagar will leverage his expertise, and strong relationships to drive investments in products, strategies, and tools to address the evolving and complex casualty exposures that large, global businesses currently face.

Bhatnagar previously served as head of field operations at Chubb Global Casualty, overseeing Chubb's US risk management and multinational casualty business. He also has held roles at Zurich, The Hartford and State Farm.

"Neal has demonstrated a strong track record of success through his senior leadership roles in the risk management and casualty space for the past decade," said Fallon. "His strategic approach, deal-making passion and broad relationships will foster continued growth and a broker- and customer-centricity for our Major Accounts Casualty division."
