Mark James appointed CNA’s chief risk and reinsurance officer

Mark James has been named chief risk and reinsurance officer for CNA, one of the largest US commercial property and casualty insurance companies.

He assumes leadership for CNA's enterprise risk management function and maintains leadership of the Global Reinsurance team.

Prior to joining CNA in April 2018, James was worldwide reinsurance and risk manager at Chubb for 13 years and, in 2016, moved to AIG as the deputy chief ceded reinsurance officer.

Al Miralles, who served as CNA's chief risk officer since 2017, has been appointed president of CNA warranty. In this role, Miralles is responsible for the oversight and management of CNA's warranty business and will continue to provide strategic oversight for long term care.

After 40 years of service – the last 10 years leading warranty – CNA has announced that Brian Loebach will retire at year end.
"I thank Brian for his many years of dedication to CNA and I am confident that Mark and Al will continue to strengthen our enterprise risk management and warranty capabilities," said Dino Robusto, chairman & CEO, CNA.
