Navigators reveals new Liberty hire and promotions in US marine division

Specialty insurance holding Navigators Group has made three new appointments in its US marine division.

Senior marine underwriters Rebecca Ward and Kristine Tennyson have been promoted to manage the Seattle branch of Navigators’ US marine segment. The executives succeed Greg Olson, who has retired after 30 years with Navigators. Olson built the company’s presence on the west coast as the Seattle office's first employee.

In addition, the company has appointed Silvia Sandoval as a reinsurance underwriter in its marine division. She will be responsible for the growth of the cargo business and the development of terrorism and fine art products in the Latin America region. Sandoval is based in the Miami office and reports to Efrain Sora, marine manager for the Latin America region.

Most recently, Sandoval worked at Liberty International Underwriters as part of the marine underwriting team, where she was responsible for developing the company’s business in Central America and the Caribbean. Previously, she was with JLT on the facultative team for Latin America, focusing on various lines of business, including property, casualty, terrorism and financial lines.
