Everest expands US insurance casualty operation

Bermuda-based Everest Re has expanded its US insurance platform with the appointment of two executives into its casualty operation.

Based in New York, Connie Germano will head up Everest Re’s US specialty casualty operation. She will be responsible for the growth of Everest National’s primary casualty, umbrella and excess, and environmental units.

Germano joins from ACE, where she led a regional casualty team in Zurich, Switzerland, covering a range of products and industry groups.

Additionally, Tom Morelli has been appointed leader of the energy casualty group, a new initiative for Everest. He joins from Global Special Risks, a specialty managing general agent focused exclusively in the energy space. Morelli will be based in the firm’s New Jersey office.

Jonathan Zaffino, president of Everest National Insurance Company, said: “We are excited to be adding two leaders of such high calibre as we continue to expand the Everest National platform.

“Connie has a successful track record within the casualty underwriting community, and is widely viewed as a strong leader and creative problem solver.
