Retirement prompts Verisk to name new president of claims

Verisk, the data analytics provider, has unveiled a new president of claims solutions, following the retirement of Rich Della Rocca (pictured, left).

Maroun Mourad (pictured, right) will succeed Rocca upon his retirement, effective July 1, 2022. Della Rocca is retiring from  Verisk after 27 years with the company, having served the past two as president of claims.

Mourad joined  Verisk as senior vice president, commercial lines, in 2015. He advanced to president, ISO Commercial Lines, in 2017 and president, global underwriting, in 2020. He then became president of the firm’s new Life & Growth Markets division in Underwriting.

“We have a deep and talented bench of executives at  Verisk, and Maroun was selected from a strong group of diverse internal candidates,” said Mark Anquillare,  Verisk president and COO. “Maroun’s entrepreneurial spirit and customer-centricity will undoubtedly prove valuable in revolutionizing the claims function in support of our customers and for the benefit of the industry.”

Mourad said: “I couldn’t be more excited to lead our claims organization into the future, building on a rock-solid foundation across our teams, businesses and geographies. The claims function is the ultimate customer-facing unit for any insurer. I look forward to exploring ways to further support our customers. One way we’ll do this is by increasing our focus on holistic solutions across process automation, technology and analytics to support this most important function.”
