Swiss Re promotes senior VP to head North America casualty

Swiss Re has promoted Mike Hudzik to head its North America casualty unit, effective January 2017.

Prior to this, he was the senior vice president of the company, overseeing casualty reinsurance treaty underwriting management for global clients.

Hudzik will continue to be based in New York, and will join firm’s Americas Management Team and Casualty Management Team, reporting directly to the global head of casualty underwriting Steve Arora.

Hudzik will replace Nancy Millette Bewlay, currently the managing director and head of underwriting casualty, US and Canada.

Hudzik has over 30 years of experience in the North American casualty space, of which nearly two decades have been spent at Swiss Re.

"Throughout my career in the casualty space I've gained extensive technical and commercial experience," said Hudzik. "I look forward to leading this group and continuing to deliver the quality services Swiss Re's clients expect and demand."

Prior to joining Swiss Re in 1998, Hudzik worked with Zurich Financial Services as underwriting manager for about 8 years, and as senior underwriter at AIG and Liberty Mutual before that.
