The Hanover hires alternative markets unit leader from Zurich

US-based property/casualty insurer Hanover Insurance Group has appointed Frank Baron as president of alternative markets, a newly formed business unit within the company's domestic specialty group.

"We are pleased to have Frank join our organisation," said Bryan Salvatore, president of specialty at The Hanover. "He brings a wealth of experience and will leverage the strengths within our broad and innovative capabilities to deliver programs, captive and fronting solutions and non-admitted placements, making it easier and more efficient for our partners to better serve their specialty clients."
