Chubb is strengthening its accident and health (A&H) business with the appointment of Megan Lynch as the new senior vice president and head for its North America sales and distribution division, effective March 3.
Lynch will work closely with business development managers and underwriters to identify new opportunities, strengthen partnerships with distribution networks, and promote the company’s North America A&H insurance offerings.
“We look forward to her leadership in driving growth and continued expansion of Chubb North America A&H’s market presence," said Lauren Gillette, executive vice president, head of North America Accident & Health.
Gillette said that Lynch’s industry knowledge and ability to build broker and client relationships align with Chubb’s strategic goals for the division.
Lynch has worked in the insurance industry for more than 20 years, holding leadership roles in business development and distribution. Before this appointment, she was senior vice president of premier broker partnerships for Chubb Workplace Benefits. Since joining the company in 2019, she has worked with brokers across the US to support business growth, including Lincoln Financial Group, Lockton Companies, and Mercer.
She earned a bachelor's degree in finance with a major in international business from Miami University and a master of business administration from Webster University.
“During her time at Chubb, Megan has shown an exceptional ability to uncover new business opportunities while building and deepening strong internal and external relationships,” said Matt Merna, Chubb Group senior vice president and division president for its North America major accounts.
Merna said that clients, brokers, and other partners stand to benefit from Lynch's professional experience.
Lynch’s appointment comes as Chubb continues to expand its operations, including a significant investment in its corporate infrastructure. The company has recently awarded a $94 million contract to Turner Construction Company for the interior fit-out of its new headquarters in Philadelphia.
Chubb operates in 54 countries and territories, offering a range of insurance products, including commercial insurance, personal property insurance, and casualty insurance. In 2024, the company reported a net income of $9.27 billion, a 2.7% increase from the previous year, with core operating income totaling $9.20 billion.
