Liberty International Underwriters (“LIU”), a part of Liberty Mutual Insurance, has appointed Jane McCarthy as global senior vice president of its global crisis management unit, which includes kidnap, ransom, and extortion; contaminated products; and product recall coverage worldwide.

Ms. McCarthy was most recently vice president of the unit for the U.S. for the past seven years.

“Jane's expertise in global crisis management has been instrumental in growing this product line into a profitable business for us. Her experience in the market makes her a sought-after resource for building the right solution for each client,” said David Cohen, the president of LIU U.S. “As product recall announcements and kidnappings happen more frequently, we have seen increased broker demand for products that offer expanded protection for their clients.”

“I look forward to leading the team and working with them to bring to market the products and services needed to prepare and protect businesses when these incidents occur,” said Ms. McCarthy.
