Liberty Specialty Markets promotes exec to CUO role
Liberty Specialty Markets (LSM), part of Liberty Mutual Insurance Group, has promoted Mike Gosselin to the role of chief underwriting officer (CUO) for specialty.
Gosselin will report to Matthew Moore, group CUO. He will focus on all LSM’s specialty product lines to ensure that underwriting leadership and value to policyholders is maintained.
Peter Smith remains the active underwriter for Lloyd’s Syndicate 4472 with overall accountability for all Syndicate underwriting. Gosselin and Smith will work closely together on the strategy for LSM’s specialty division.
An industry veteran with more than 25 years in insurance, Gosselin has been at Liberty for the past 14 years, moving from Liberty International Underwriter’s US operations in 2002 to set up Liberty’s energy practice in London. He will maintain his role as global CUO for oil and gas.
Moore said: “I would like to congratulate Mike on his new role. At LSM we have a commitment to help people to prosper and Mike’s appointment is a reflection of that philosophy as well as the hard work and dedication he has displayed.
“Specialty is a core part of LSM, along with commercial and reinsurance, and Mike’s new role will further strengthen our position as one of the leaders in the specialty sector."
