Chubb names new North American property claims leader
Insurer Chubb has appointed Tim Barziza as head of its North American property claims, replacing Bill Turnbull who is retiring at the end of 2018 after over 30 years at Chubb.
In his new role, Barziza will be responsible for leading the technical and administrative execution of the property claim service, including the recovery and the special investigations units across North America for both personal and commercial claims. He will be based in Dallas and report to Megan Watt, head of North America claims.
Barziza joined Chubb as an outside claims representative in 2003, and since then has held various technical and operational claims management positions. Prior to that, Barziza served as a senior claims officer where he led the general adjuster and executive general adjuster teams across North America, spanning personal and commercial claims across all business units.
"Tim brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to this role; his understanding of the claims organisation, structure, and commitment to the brand makes him an ideal fit for this position," said Watt. "I look forward to working with Tim to ensure we continue providing the exceptional level of service and technical excellence that is synonymous with our reputation."
Paul Krump, EVP, Chubb Group president, North America commercial and personal insurance, said: "Bill's dedication and leadership within the claims organisation has been influential in the prominent service levels that Chubb has become known for in the marketplace. I want to thank Bill on behalf of our management team and the entire Chubb organisation for his many contributions, and wish him all the very best during his retirement."
