XL Catlin’s Global Excess Casualty insurance business has appointed John Kopach, who joins from a similar role with Everest National Insurance, as new U.S. South East Regional Underwriting Manager.
In his new role as Region Manager, Kopach will lead the Atlanta-based team towards a more geographic-focused approach in addressing broker and client’s excess and umbrella liability needs.
Barbara Luck, President of XL Catlin’s Global Excess Casualty business, said; “our continued success developing and growing our business and client and broker relationships throughout the US, has prompted the need to be even closer to our clients and brokers, with even more underwriting expertise and authority for local decision-making and service support within their specific regions.
“Brokers and clients value our expertise, service and responsiveness as some of our key market differentiators. This is why we decided to provide clients and brokers in the South East and North East with their specific Underwriting Regional Leader.”
Kopach joins XL Catlin from Everest National Insurance where he served as Vice President Excess of Casualty, East Region.
He boasts 16 years of experience in the re/insurance market including having worked at Swiss Re Corporate Solutions and XL Catlin Reinsurance.
Luck added that; “John’s in-depth knowledge of the excess casualty market, as well as his experience and relationships in the South East region are a fantastic asset to our team.
“The new regions better enable our team to deliver more attentive service and become closer partners to our growing number of clients and brokers who trust us to find innovative and effective ways to manage their excess and umbrella liability coverages.”
