Chubb announced on July 21 that Scott Meyer will succeed Bruce Kessler as Senior Vice President, Chubb Group and Division President of Westchester, the property and casualty insurer's wholesale and excess and surplus lines insurance business.
As Division President of Westchester, Meyer will have executive operating responsibility for the commercial property and casualty insurance business that serves the wholesale and excess and surplus (E&S) lines market, in the U.S. and Canada, through its brokerage, binding, and programs segments.
Kessler, who will be retiring at the end of the year, will assume the role of Chairman of Westchester, where he will remain active in the business and focus on key industry issues, strategic planning, and as a senior advisor to Meyer during the transition, says the company.
Chubb also announced Steven Goldman as successor to Meyer as Vice President, Chubb Group and Division President, North America Financial Lines. In this capacity, he will have executive oversight of Chubb's management and professional liability lines of business, which spans public, private, not-for-profit, and financial institution directors and officers coverages, transactional risk, as well as its errors and omissions and cyber products.
Both Meyer and Goldman will report to John Lupica, Vice Chairman, Chubb Group, President, North America Major Accounts and Specialty Insurance.
"Scott and Steve both bring extensive leadership, underwriting and P&L management experience to their new roles. They are proven leaders in our company and will make an immediate impact in their respective businesses. Scott has done an excellent job building our financial lines business into the market leader it is today, which positions Steve well to further build upon those successes," said Lupica in a statement.
