Chubb has hired industry veteran Lee Clarke as a senior casualty underwriter at its London-based wholesale insurance division.
In his new role at Chubb Global Markets, Clarke will be primarily responsible for the management and profitable growth of the unit’s casualty portfolio. He will also have a broader role in helping to expand Chubb’s international casualty business.
Clarke will report to Matthew Shaw, Chubb global markets division president, and Paul Christmas, international casualty manager for Chubb in the UK and Ireland.
“Lee, with his wealth of London market and casualty experience, is a great addition to our team and will help us further build our casualty capabilities, in particular in the areas of international cover holder and lineslip business,” Shaw said.
Clarke has more than 30 years of industry experience, having held several casualty broking and underwriting roles. He is actually re-joining Chubb, where he worked from 1998 to 2005 in London, South Africa and Ireland.
He previously served as international casualty deputy unit head at Novae.
“Lee’s relationships and expertise will be instrumental in strategy to support our UK customers better manage their evolving international casualty exposures,” Christmas said.
