US insurer Travelers has appointed Aaron Devitt as chief operating officer (COO) of Travelers Europe, where he will oversee the operations, claim and marketing functions.
Devitt fills the role that was previously held by Matthew Wilson, who was appointed chief executive officer of Travelers Europe in 2015. Devitt is based in London and will report to Wilson.
He joins Travelers after 22 years in the British, Irish and Scandinavian insurance markets, where he managed commercial, financial and personal lines businesses. He most recently served as managing director of commercial insurance for RSA in Scandinavia.
“We are pleased to add Aaron’s dynamic talent and experience to the Travelers Europe leadership team,” said Wilson. “His extensive knowledge of markets, customers and brokers across Western Europe will provide significant value as we continue to strengthen our European operations.”
