Chubb appoints global government & industry affairs general counsel

Property/casualty insurer Chubb has appointed John Fielding as senior vice president, general counsel, global government and industry affairs.

Fielding joins Chubb from the Council of Insurance Agents & Brokers (CIAB), where he served as general counsel for four years. He has represented CIAB, as well as other insurance trade associations, carriers and producers before Congress, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC), the National Council of Insurance Legislators (NCOIL), and state insurance regulators with respect to policy and regulatory matters. From 1997 to 2003, he was senior counsel for financial services at the National Association of Insurance Commissioners.

Based in Washington, DC, Fielding will report to Joe Wayland, executive vice president, Chubb Group and general counsel.

In his new role, Fielding will provide legal, regulatory and policy guidance and advice to Chubb's state, federal and international government affairs team. He will coordinate and ensure consistency in advocacy throughout the company's government affairs activities and will represent the company in a wide range of regulatory and industry settings.

"We are delighted to welcome John to Chubb's government affairs group. In his distinguished career, John has been immersed in many of the most important legislative and regulatory issues affecting the insurance industry," said Wayland. "He is highly regarded for his expertise, leadership and effective advocacy in advancing the interests of the industry. He's a strong addition to our government affairs team."
