Chubb Makes Key Appointments to Expanding Marine Team

LONDON, June 4, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Chubb today announced the appointment of Frank Chu as Marine Cargo Underwriter, joining an expanding Marine team within Chubb Global Markets (CGM).

In this role Frank will strengthen the overall capability of the existing Cargo team within CGM, which comprises Chubb's London Market wholesale and specialty business including the company's Lloyd's platform.

He will report to David Kirk, Product Head for Cargo. The appointment is effective immediately.

He joins a well-established and growing Marine team, which includes three additional recent hires:

Emily Bryant, Yacht Underwriter: Emily is responsible for managing and developing the CGM Yacht portfolio. Emily's previous experience at specialist yacht brokers gives her a high level of specialist knowledge in what is a highly technical subclass of risk.

Jack Buchan, Hull Underwriter: Jack is responsible for growing and diversifying the hull and wider marine portfolio including underwriting brown water and specialist tonnage where he has particular knowledge and expertise.

Emily, Ian and Jack all report into James May, Product Head for Hull, Liability & Yacht.

Mark Edmondson, Head of Marine for Chubb Global Markets, said:

"I'm delighted with the specialist knowledge and experience that Frank, Emily, Ian and Jack bring to already well-established Marine teams at Chubb Global Markets.
