Liberty Speciality Markets (LSM), a part of Liberty Mutual Insurance Group, is to restructure its senior underwriting management team.
Sean Rocks, chief underwriting officer of its commercial division, resigned from LSM on 31 October. Alan Telford, who is currently LSM’s chief underwriting officer financial lines, will take over from Rocks.
Telford will assume the title of chief underwriting officer for the commercial division on 1 April.
Matthew Moore, currently chief underwriting officer for specialty and reinsurance, will become group chief underwriting officer.
He will retain the specialty portion of his current role, but with the additional support of Peter Smith, who becomes active underwriter of Syndicate 4472, subject to Lloyd’s approval.
Dieter Winkel has been named as chief underwriting officer for reinsurance.
Nick Metcalf, president and CEO of LSM, commented: “These appointments will enable us to remain at the very forefront of our markets.”
“The fact that these are all internal appointments demonstrates the depth of our underwriting and leadership talent, highlighting the breadth of opportunities within LSM and the wider Liberty Group.”
