Markel hires executive underwriting officer from Chubb

Markel Corporation has appointed Jane Peterson as executive underwriting officer for the product line leadership team.

Peterson joins Markel from Chubb North America commercial insurance, where she most recently served as executive vice president. She has over 30 years of experience in the property/casualty industry.

In her new role, Peterson will report to Markel's chief underwriting officer Robin Russo. She will oversee the product and regulatory services and wholesale binding units, and work closely with Markel's wholesale division leadership on underwriting product initiatives.

Russo said: "Jane's industry expertise and contacts will prove to be invaluable assets for Markel. She is working closely with me and the underwriting leadership teams as we expand the range of our US product offerings in close collaboration with our production partners. We welcome Jane to the team and know that she will be a key contributor for us in 2017."
