Liberty names new head of European claims

Liberty Specialty Markets (LSM), part of Liberty Mutual Insurance Group, has appointed Renske Franken-le-Clercq as head of European claims.

Franken-le-Clercq will be responsible for commercial and specialty business written in LSM’s European branches outside London. Prior to her new role, Franken-le-Clercq was claims manager for LSM in The Hague for six years.

Based in The Hague, Franken-le-Clercq will join LSM’s claims leadership team reporting to Mike Gillett, head of claims for LSM, and to Kadidja Sinz, head of Europe for LSM.

"This dual reporting line reflects LSM’s commitment to ensuring that its claims and underwriting teams work closely together to enable our European customers and brokers to benefit from a fully co-ordinated, class claims service," the company said.

Gillett said: “I am delighted that Renske has accepted this new role. It’s always rewarding to be able to fill senior positions from within the business and Renske’s promotion is testament to the depth of talent that we have in our claims operations within Europe.

“Kadidja and I look forward to working with Renske in the continued development of a European claims proposition that fully supports the ambition of LSM in the region.”
