Zurich appoints marine underwriting head
Zurich Insurance Group has appointed Mike Davies as global head of marine underwriting within the company’s general insurance business. He will succeed Lee Meyrick who left Zurich in April, 2013.
Davies will be responsible for the marine, aviation and fine art & species product lines globally. Davies will report to Juan Beer, chief underwriting officer, property, engineering lines & marine and will be located in Zurich.
“Mike’s appointment says much about his proven underwriting excellence and the strength of Zurich's internal talent pool,” said Beer. “His leadership and Zurich's underwriting integrity – together with a full product range, bespoke international programmes and marine-dedicated risk engineering services – spells a confident future for Zurich's marine capabilities.”
Davies' 32 years of marine sector experience include 15 years with Zurich in the UK and, most recently, in Asia Pacific as Zurich’s regional head of marine underwriting. He was chairman of the International Union of Marine Insurance (IUMI) Cargo Committee from 2006-2011 and is currently a vice chairman of IUMI and a member of its executive committee.
