Large US insurer Chubb has announced the appointment of Brent MacLean as Division President of ESIS Inc., a third-party administrator and wholly-owned subsidiary of Chubb.

ChubbESIS provides a full range of claim and risk management services to a wide variety of commercial clients. Services include workers’ compensation, general liability, automobile liability, products liability, professional liability, and integrated absence management.

MacLean succeeds Jim Shevlin, who is retiring after 24 years of dedicated leadership and service at Chubb.

In his new role, MacLean will be responsible for ESIS’ profit and loss performance and advancing product development, customer service, relationship management, and sales strategies for the division.

He will report directly to Matt Merna, Senior Vice President, Chubb Group and Division President, North America Major Accounts.

MacLean brings more than two decades of experience, having held multiple leadership positions specialising in workers’ compensation.

He joins Chubb from CompIQ Solutions, where he served as Chief Executive Officer. Prior to that, he worked at Conduent, most recently as President and Global Head of Commercial Healthcare.

Merna commented, “Brent’s extensive experience in the insurance industry will be instrumental in advancing ESIS’ growth.

“I am confident that his vision and strategic direction will allow us to continue delivering exceptional service and results, while ensuring we have the right strategies and tools in place to support our clients in reducing their total cost of risk.’

Merna added, “On behalf of Chubb and ESIS, I also want to thank Jim for his dedication and contributions over the last two decades. His leadership has had a lasting impact on our organisation, both during his time as Regional Executive Officer of Chubb’s Southeast region and in his most recent role as president of ESIS. We wish him all the best during his retirement.”

In a recent LinkedIn post, MacLean said, “Stepping into this role is an incredible honor. ESIS has a long-standing reputation for excellence in risk management, and I’m eager to begin this next chapter with such a storied organisation.”
