Liberty Specialty Markets (LSM), a subsidiary of Liberty Mutual Insurance Group, has appointed Marilyne Furlan as Head of Casualty, Europe, effective December 2023, reporting to Pierre-Edouard Fraigneau, Chief Underwriting Officer, LSM, Europe.
Furlan takes over from Katja Bobrowski, who is retiring in February 2024. Until then, they will work together to ensure a seamless transition for LSM’s clients and brokers in the region.
In her new role, Furlan’s remit will include being responsible for ensuring sustainable growth across casualty lines in Europe and she will provide oversight and leadership on LSM’s casualty underwriting strategy and product offering.
Along with this, she will be an active member of both the European Underwriting Management Team and Liberty’s Casualty Global Product Board.
Prior to this, Furlan served at RSA, holding a variety of casualty management roles, most recently as the Head of Liability Lines for Europe.
Fraigneau commented: “We thank Katja for her instrumental support in building and leading our European casualty book and wish her the best in her retirement.
“Marilyne’s two decades of industry experience will be vital in supporting our strategic growth in the region as we continue to deliver our global casualty ambitions across LSM. She has a track record of high performance in casualty management roles, and it’s great to have her on board.”
