Come the new year, there will be a new chief underwriting officer at Liberty Specialty Markets (LSM).
The international commercial, specialty and reinsurance business of Liberty Mutual, has brought in Rachel Conran (pictured) who will report to Matthew Moore, president, GRS office of underwriting, and Phil Hobbs, president and managing director of LSM.
“Rachel’s proven specialty underwriting and leadership skills, together with her track record of delivering impressive underwriting performance, made her the ideal candidate for the role,” said Hobbs. “Her expertise, passion and collaboration will add value to clients and brokers.”
Conran, who is set to be based in Cologne, Germany, brings experience from Intact Financial Corporation where she was chief executive officer and board member of RSA Luxembourg.
“Our ambition when we created the GRS Office of Underwriting was to build a team of talented leaders who can drive results through underwriting excellence, consistent global product strategies and a common view of risk,” said Moore. “Rachel’s appointment completes the GRS team of chief underwriting officers. We will focus on bringing LSM’s expertise and offerings to help clients and brokers across GRS manage complex risks.”
