Liberty Mutual Insurance, a property and casualty insurer, has recently announced that Neeti Bhalla Johnson will step down from her role as President of Global Risk Solutions (GRS) effective March 6, 2026, as she pursues new opportunities.
As President of GRS, Bhalla Johnson oversaw a substantial transformation of the company’s commercial and specialty re/insurance business spanning 24 countries, delivering $23 billion in gross written premium.
During her leadership, GRS achieved marked improvement in its combined ratio and put in place a long-term strategic roadmap extending through 2030. She developed and elevated top talent throughout the organisation while promoting a client-first mindset that strengthened engagement with clients and brokers globally.
“The people I’ve worked with in GRS—our teams around the world, our clients, our broker partners—have made these past few years incredibly rewarding,” added Bhalla Johnson.
“What I’m most proud of is the team we built and what we accomplished together. Watching talented people come together around a shared vision, turn around our performance, and deliver for our clients has been extraordinary. I’m confident that GRS has everything it needs to continue thriving—the right strategy, exceptional people, and real momentum.”
Before leading GRS, Bhalla Johnson served as Liberty Mutual’s Chief Investment Officer, where she revitalised and advanced the company’s investment platform. Across her 13 years with the organisation, she encouraged forward-thinking approaches and was a dedicated proponent of diversity, equity, and inclusion.
“Neeti has been a transformational leader at Liberty Mutual,” commented Liberty Mutual Insurance Chairman, President & Chief Executive Officer Tim Sweeney. “As Chief Investment Officer, she strengthened our investment capabilities and built a world-class team. As President of GRS, she led an impressive turnaround—dramatically improving our underwriting results, attracting top-tier talent, and setting a strategic direction that positions us for long-term success.
He continued: “Beyond Liberty Mutual, Neeti has been a thought leader in the insurance industry, influencing how we think about risk, innovation, and the evolving needs of commercial clients. We are grateful for her many contributions and wish her great success in her next endeavor.”
Bhalla Johnson will help ensure an orderly leadership transition and will remain in an advisory capacity to the CEO through June 2026.
Beginning March 6, 2026, Matthew Moore will step into the role of President of Global Risk Solutions (GRS), reporting directly to Sweeney. He currently leads the underwriting organisation within GRS.
With more than 24 years at Liberty Mutual, Moore has held numerous senior leadership positions across the company’s Global Specialty and Reinsurance businesses.
For the past four years, he has overseen underwriting strategy and performance for GRS. His industry involvement includes serving as Chair of the London Market Group, board member of the Lloyd’s Members Association and Pool Reinsurance Company Limited, and Vice President of the Insurance Institute of London.
“I’m honoured to be named President of GRS and grateful for the confidence placed in me. I want to thank Neeti for her exceptional leadership in transforming GRS and setting the organisation up for continued success. I look forward to working with our leadership team, partners, and colleagues to sustain momentum and advance our 2030 aspirations,” said Moore.
“Matthew brings a breadth of experience, deep underwriting expertise and energy that will best serve the needs of our clients, brokers and partners,” Sweeney further added.
