Chubb has named a new executive to lead its manufacturing industry business.
Mike Williams has been appointed to the position of executive vice-president and manufacturing industry practice leader. In this role, Williams “will lead strategic efforts around driving results for the mid-market business by continuing to leverage Chubb’s portfolio of world-class underwriting, claims and risk engineering solutions throughout North America, and by further strengthening its relationships with key distribution partners,” a release said.
Williams replaces Mark Locke, previous manufacturing industry practice leader, who retires after a 27-year career by the end of 2018. Until his retirement, Locke will serve the company as deputy industry practice leader.
“The business environment is evolving at a rapid pace and creating enormous opportunities for manufacturers across the US,” said Chubb North America executive vice-president, industry practice leader Jim West.
“Mike is a talented and seasoned industry veteran with strong underwriting experience, and his background is an ideal fit for identifying key trends in this dynamic industry and aligning Chubb’s capabilities with the needs of our clients to help them better manage risks in the midst of this manufacturing resurgence,” West added.
Williams has over three decades of insurance industry experience. He first joined Chubb in 1989 as a commercial lines underwriter, later serving a number of leadership roles within underwriting. Prior to joining Chubb, Williams was the Western Zone underwriting officer for CNA Insurance.
He received a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration from Washington State University.
