CNA Financial has appointed Christopher Leisz as senior vice president and chief underwriting officer for specialty.

Leisz will take on the oversight and governance for specialty products within professional services, financial institutions, management liability and healthcare.

"Chris' broad experience in product development, underwriting, sales, marketing, distribution management, litigation and field leadership makes him well suited for his new position," said Mark Herman, president and chief operating officer, CNA Specialty.

Leisz joins CNA with more than 13 years of insurance industry experience, most recently serving as midwest regional executive for Hiscox USA, where he was responsible for production growth, marketing, distribution strategy and account management. Prior to that, he led development of its management and professional liability suite of products and also held roles with American International Group, including time as a coverage attorney.
