Markel Corporation’s Mia Finsness, who currently leads Casualty Claims at Markel for North America and the Dublin and London Assurance divisions, has seen her role expand to Managing Director, Global Casualty Underwriting and Claims.
In her new role, she will continue to manage the Markel North America and the Dublin and London Assurance claims division, and will also lead the Markel Casualty Affiliated Underwriting Group.
Finsness will work closely with Robin Russo, Executive Vice President (EVP) and Chief Underwriting Officer (CUO), and also the underwriting leadership team in order to monitor industry trends and emerging risks.
