RSA hires Zurich's Sweeney as CUO of UK/international
RSA Insurance Group has hired the former CUO for Zurich’s commercial business for its UK and international business.
Adrian Sweeney will join RSA as chief underwriting officer, UK and International. Sweeney left Zurich in August 2017, having spent majority of his career working across Zurich’s international businesses in senior underwriting and operations roles, latterly as the CUO for Zurich’s commercial businesses globally. For the last one year, he has been consulting with a number of early stage insurance businesses.
Steve Lewis, CEO UK & international, RSA, said: “I am delighted to welcome Adrian to the team. He joins us at a pivotal moment in our journey to be best in class, and his expertise and insights will be hugely valuable to our pricing and underwriting community as we continue to build our capabilities and competitive edge.”
Sweeney commented: “RSA is a company ready to step into the future. I’m excited to help bring together age old insurance expertise with new ways of thinking for the benefit of our customers.”
