Chubb appoints North America leadership team

Property/casualty insurer Chubb has appointed new leadership team for the Southeast region of the company's North America field organisation, effective February 15, 2016.

James Shevlin will serve as senior vice president (SVP), North America insurance and regional executive officer (REO) of the Southeast region. Shevlin, who was named in an earlier announcement as regional chief operating officer (RCOO) for the Southeast region, will assume responsibilities that were previously announced for D Scott Dalton, who will retire from Chubb on February 15.

Shevlin will report to Harold Morrison, Jr, SVP Chubb Group, and division president, field operations for the North America Insurance division. As REO, Shevlin will be responsible for executing the underwriting and sales strategies of Chubb's business units, staff management, production, profit and loss, and distribution management in the Southeast Region, which is one of eight North America Insurance regions across the United States and Canada. In addition to his REO duties, Shevlin will manage the Atlanta office.

Barbara Wittick will serve as RCOO of the Southeast region and report to Shevlin. Currently, Wittick is SVP and Tampa branch manager for Chubb. In addition to her RCOO duties, Wittick will lead the Tampa branch office, and the Birmingham, Nashville and Charlotte branch offices will report to her.

"Jim and Barb are talented field leaders who have a deep understanding of the broad spectrum of risks unique to the Southeast region," said Morrison.

"They are part of a strong line-up of experienced field leaders who are the face of a nimble, relationship-driven and solutions-oriented company focused on generating profitable growth in the region."
