XL Catlin names president of global excess casualty business

XL Catlin has expanded its global excess casualty business with the appointment of Barbara Luck as its president.

Her appointment is effective December 1 and she will report to Joe Tocco, chief executive of XL Catlin’s Americas region.

Luck was promoted from her current role as chief underwriting officer of XL Catlin’s global risk management business.

Luck joined XL Catlin in 2012 from ACE USA, where she had previously served as executive vice president and chief underwriting officer of its risk management division.

Tocco commented: “We’re excited to see talented leaders like Barbara step up to new challenges and opportunities.

“With more than 25 years of insurance underwriting and management experience, Barbara assumes her new role with a proven track record of bringing together multiple lines of insurance business to drive development of innovative, tailored insurance coverage for our primary casualty clients and profitable growth goals for our team.

“Now, combining Barbara’s strong leadership with our very skilled global excess casualty team, we anticipate even more impressive developments as we maximize our global excess casualty capacity, capabilities and global scale to offer our clients’ additional layers of insurance protection for today’s complex business risks.”
