Liberty Mutual appoints EVP of national casualty unit

Liberty Mutual Insurance has appointed Debbie Michel as executive vice president (EVP) and general manager of its national insurance casualty unit, which provides general liability, commercial auto and workers compensation coverages and services.

In her new role, Michel will oversee the underwriting, sales, and service of casualty insurance products for the large risk market, while continuing her leadership duties of Helmsman Management Services, Liberty Mutual’s third-party administrator.

A 20-year veteran of Liberty Mutual, Michel has held leadership positions in a number of key underwriting, distribution, accounting, marketing, and claim operations within the company’s commercial insurance strategic business unit. Most recently, she was president of Helmsman Management Services. Under her leadership, Helmsman grew to become the 5th largest multi-line TPA based on total gross revenue.

Mark Butler, executive vice president, commercial insurance and president, national insurance, said: “Debbie’s deep understanding of the risk management needs of large buyers, and the brokers who serve them, will drive the success of our national insurance casualty and Helmsman operations.

“She’ll marshal this understanding to strategically grow our risk management account business by providing the sophisticated insurance coverages and third-party administrator (TPA) services, supported by superior claims management and loss prevention, that help customers better control the total cost of general liability, commercial auto and workers compensation risk.”
