Lisa Gentile, a former vice president of excess casualty atTravelers, leads the midsize umbrella underwriting team.
|Second, Marcus Cooper joined Liberty Mutual and leads a newMidwest division that was created in an effort to better serve areamiddle-market buyers and brokers. Cooper joined from Zurich, wherehe ran the company's country-wide middle-market operation.
