WR Berkley unveils executive changes
Property/casualty insurer WR Berkley Corporation has made senior executive changes at its subsidiaries Carolina Casualty and Gemini Transportation Underwriters.
The company has appointed David Lockhart as president of Carolina Casualty, succeeding David Dunn. He will have oversight of all operating units specialising in primary insurance for the commercial transportation industry, including Berkley Prime.
Additionally, Jason Lewis has been appointed president of Gemini Transportation Underwriters, a Berkley Company, succeeding Lockhart.
Lockhart joined Berkley as a senior vice president of Gemini Transportation in 2014, was named executive vice president in 2017, and assumed the role of president in 2018. He has over 30 years of experience in the property casualty insurance industry in a broad range of domestic and international underwriting products and services.
Lewis joined Gemini Transportation as assistant vice president of underwriting in 2009 and most recently served as its senior vice president and chief underwriting officer. He has nearly 20 years of experience in the property casualty insurance industry in underwriting and operations, with a focus in specialty lines of business.
W. Robert Berkley, Jr., president and chief executive officer of WR Berkley, said: “We thank David Dunn for his outstanding contributions to Carolina Casualty and are pleased that he will continue to share his considerable knowledge with the team throughout the transition and remain in an advisory role for the group overall.
"Dave Lockhart and Jason are both proven executives with exceptional expertise in the commercial transportation insurance market. Under Dave’s strong leadership, Gemini Transportation has become one of the foremost excess vehicular insurance providers in the market today. We are confident that his knowledge and skills will enable Carolina Casualty to leverage its strong foundation to grow in a similarly profitable fashion. Jason’s experience will provide excellent continuity for the Gemini Transportation team to build upon their great work and the many important initiatives they have underway. With Jason’s focus on the excess vehicular insurance market and Dave’s oversight of all operating units specializing in primary insurance for the commercial transportation industry, we are confident that their respective teams are poised to make the most of improving market conditions.”
