Liberty swoops for Ironshore talent to drive Germany growth

Liberty Specialty Markets (LSM), part of Liberty Mutual Insurance Group, has appointed Ronan Gerety as general manager of insurance in Germany. He will be based in Cologne.

Gerety joins LSM from Ironshore International, where he was head of Continental European distribution since 2016. Prior to that, he was a founding board member of Catlin Europe.

Gerety replaces Wolfgang Weis, who will now focus on broadening Liberty’s footprint in Austria and Eastern Europe. LSM believes these territories offer significant opportunities both with existing and new clients.

Kadidja Sinz, Liberty Specialty Market’s head of Europe, said: “Our European business has aggressive profitable growth targets. Ronan’s excellent track record in business development, and extensive knowledge of the German insurance market, mean he will make a major contribution in delivering that growth.”
