The North American operations of global primary re/insurance group QBE has promoted Mark Pasko to the role of Chief Legal Officer.
Pasko, whose appointment is effective immediately, most recently served as senior vice president and general counsel, Business Unit Support.
He will report jointy to Todd Jones, QBE North America Chief Executive Officer, and Carolyn Scobie, group general counsel and company secretary.
In his new role Pasko will lead the North America legal department in support of the company’s business goals and its focus on enhanced performance.
As a member of QBE North America’s executive committee, he will oversee corporate governance, litigation, compliance, regulatory relations, intellectual property, and labor and employment law, while anticipating and mitigating risks across the enterprise.
“After executing a very competitive search of both internal and external candidates, we are pleased to recognize Mark’s extensive experience and vital contributions to our organization with this promotion,” said Jones.
“As we position QBE North America for long-term success, Mark’s proven leadership and deep knowledge of our Company and industry positions us well to execute on our strategy and capture the many opportunities we see ahead of us.”
