Liberty Mutual Insurance has named S. Colin Dowling to lead the company's public affairs office in Washington, D.C., as vice president for federal affairs.
Mr. Dowling has held management positions at Travelers, where he served as a senior federal lobbyist, and at Citigroup where, as managing director, he ran its state and local government affairs program.
“Colin is an experienced public affairs officer with deep knowledge of the industry,” said Liberty Mutual Insurance President and Chief Executive Officer David H. Long. “He will add to an already strong public affairs team at Liberty Mutual.”
Paul Mattera, senior vice president and chief public affairs officer added, “At a time of increasing convergence of state, federal and international policy initiatives, Colin's broad experience at both the state and federal levels and across the insurance and banking sectors, makes him an ideal person to lead our D.C. office.”
“Tax reform, global regulatory initiatives, trade, and terrorism risk insurance all present policy challenges,” said Mr. Dowling. “I'm excited to join one of the best public affairs shops in Washington to continue their record of leading the industry on these pressing public policy issues.”
