Verisk appoints insurance president
Verisk Analytics, a provider of risk information, has appointed Beth Fitzgerald as president of ISO Insurance Programs and Analytic Services, the founding business unit of Verisk Analytics responsible for the company's core insurance products and services.
Fitzgerald succeeds Kevin Thompson, who recently retired after 40 years with the company.
Fitzgerald joined ISO as an actuarial assistant and most recently held the position of senior vice president of commercial lines. Over the course of her career at ISO, she has helped drive innovation in data management and pricing for both personal and commercial lines, including pioneering pricing models for catastrophe modelling and cyber insurance.
"With Beth's strong background in insurance and actuarial science, pioneering approach to predictive analytics, and proven leadership skills, we have selected someone who can lead ISO into the future," said Verisk Analytics president and chief executive officer Scott Stephenson.
"Beth's appointment marks our commitment to continue to build the core ISO business, to help our customers innovate and improve margins, and to deliver outstanding service. She is respected by our customers and employees and is uniquely qualified to lead the ISO business."
Fitzgerald said: "I'm proud to lead a business that has helped insurers make informed decisions about risk for more than 40 years. I'm also excited about the future, as we develop solutions for the rapidly changing world of insurance. Our focus will be simple: to listen carefully to our customers and generate data assets, analytics, and coverage solutions that meet their needs."
