A Liberty Mutual Insurance Group division, Liberty Specialty Markets (LSM), has named Stuart Sutherland, joining from AIG, as its new Head of Casualty.
Sutherland is set to begin his LSM London headquarters-based role in July, where he’ll assume responsibility for LSM’s casualty product line leadership.
He will report to Alan Telford, Chief Underwriting Officer (CUO), Commercial.
Telford said Sutherland, who boasts over 30 years of London insurance market experience, is uniquely placed to drive the LSM business forward; “Our casualty book is an integral part of our plans to grow and develop our Commercial division. Stuart brings a powerful combination of excellent technical underwriting skills, significant market-facing experience and strong leadership.”
Sutherland will join LSM from his role as AIG’s UK Head of Casualty, where he lead a team of 120 people.
Prior to AIG, he worked for insurer and reinsurer XL Catlin as UK Regional Casualty Manager.
