Everest Insurance bolsters excess casualty group with Chubb, ex-XL Group duo

Everest Insurance, the specialty insurance division of Bermuda-based Everest Re Group, has added two new senior executives to its US excess casualty group, following the recent team expansions in the Midwest and West regions.

Rey Haliti joins Everest as a director. Prior to joining Everest, he spent over five years at Chubb as an assistant vice president, excess casualty. He previously worked at AIG as a senior underwriter of excess casualty national accounts.

Auberson Eustache joins Everest as a manager. Most recently, he spent time as an excess & umbrella senior underwriter at Crum & Forster. Previously, he worked as an underwriter at XL Group and Old Republic Construction Program Group, and as an account executive for Marsh.

Both the executives will be based in the company's New York City office, reporting in to Jake Sokol, vice president and regional manager of excess casualty.

“We are excited to have Rey and Auberson join our Excess Casualty team here at Everest,” said Sokol. “Both underwriters come to us with specialised knowledge in the Excess space, as well as broader experience in the industry. Rey and Auberson will help us continue to provide exceptional service and customised solutions for our clients.”

Debra Weiser, head of excess casualty, added: “On the heels of our recent team expansions in the Midwest and West regions, these additions serve to strengthen our commitment to providing localised underwriting for our clients and brokers.”
