Liberty Mutual Insurance names new senior vice president, treasurer

Liberty Mutual Insurance has appointed Edward Peña as new senior vice president and treasurer, replacing Laurance H.S. Yahia who is retiring in April 2020.

Peña joined Liberty Mutual in 2017 as vice president and director of investor relations and has been responsible for maintaining and developing the company's rating agency and investor relationships, and for leading capital modeling and competitive analysis. In 2019, Peña assumed the additional responsibilities of managing the company's debt and liquidity strategy.

Prior to Liberty Mutual, Peña worked at ProSight Specialty Insurance, where he was vice president of finance and led capital and financial planning, mergers and acquisitions, and treasury. He also held roles at JP Morgan where he advised investment bank financial institution clients on mergers and acquisitions, and capital structuring, and within Corporate Treasury where he worked on financial and regulatory reporting.

Yahia served as senior vice president and treasurer since 2003. He joined Liberty Mutual in 1984 and held roles of increasing responsibility in legal, mergers & acquisitions, investor relations and treasury services over his 35-year career at the company.

"Ed is a proven leader with the expertise, influence and innovative thinking to continue driving impact and opportunity for our company," said David Long, Liberty Mutual chairman and chief executive officer. "We are grateful for Larry's tremendous contributions and dedication to Liberty Mutual, and are committed to building upon his momentum."
