XL Catlin's global excess casualty insurance business has appointed John Kopach as new underwriting manager for the southeast region of the United States.
According to Barbara Luck, president of XL Catlin's global excess casualty business, "Our continued success developing and growing our business and client and broker relationships throughout the U.S. has prompted the need to be even closer to our clients and brokers, with even more underwriting expertise and authority for local decision making and service support within their specific regions. Brokers and clients value our expertise, service, and responsiveness as some of our key market differentiators. This is why we decided to provide clients and brokers in the southeast and northeast with their specific underwriting regional leader."
In his new role as global excess casualty southeast region manager, Mr. Kopach will lead the Atlanta-based team towards a more geographic-focused approach in addressing our broker and client's excess and umbrella liability needs.
"The new regions better enable our team to deliver more attentive service and become closer partners to our growing number of clients and brokers who trust us to find innovative and effective ways to manage their excess and umbrella liability coverages. John's in-depth knowledge of the excess casualty market, as well as his experience and relationships in the southeast region are a fantastic asset to our team," added Ms. Luck.
Mr. Kopach joined XL Catlin from Everest National Insurance, where he served as vice president for excess casualty for the company's east region. He has a combined 16 years of experience in the insurance and reinsurance market, having worked at Swiss Re Corporate Solutions and XL Catlin Reinsurance.
Mr. Kopach is a graduate of Boston University and holds an M.S. from the Sargent College of Health & Rehabilitation Sciences.
