ACE CRS appoints division president

ACE Commercial Risk Services, part of insurer ACE Group, has appointed David Charlton as division president, property and casualty and micro-business.

He will lead ACE’s expansion efforts into the property and casualty package and the micro specialty lines market for select small businesses, deepening ACE’s growing presence in the small commercial space.

Charlton joins ACE with 26 years of insurance experience with leading insurance companies focused on the small commercial market. He joins ACE from a United States Liability Insurance, a specialty insurance carrier, where he most recently served as executive vice president and chief underwriting officer.

In his new role, he will report directly to Juan Andrade, ACE Group executive vice president and global head of Personal Lines and Small Commercial Insurance.

Charlton will partner with David Lupica, division president, ACE Commercial Risk Services, to deepen ACE’s expansion and presence in the small commercial arena by developing package and specialty lines capabilities for ACE’s smaller commercial lines customers.

Andrade said: “Four years ago, ACE announced its intent and commitment to diversify into the small commercial space, which resulted in the creation of ACE Commercial Risk Services. Since that time, under David Lupica’s strong leadership, this business has grown rapidly and profitably, establishing ACE as a leading specialty small business insurer. We have dedicated ourselves to offering compelling, efficient, and cost-effective solutions to small business owners. Our leading small business specialty products are now sold nationally, through thousands of agents and broker storefronts, and many wholesalers.

“We recognise that each small business has a unique set of insurance needs. We are pleased to build upon this growth by welcoming David Charlton and complementing our traditional specialty lines to now offer property and liability package options for targeted business segments. Together, these two executives will accelerate our successful diversification into this market.”
