Berkshire Hathaway Specialty Insurance (“BHSI”) has named John Roe as head of casualty construction for North America, responsible for the company's construction professional, homebuilders, and construction casualty product lines and loss control.

“John has been integral to the build out of our casualty construction platform, and we are pleased to have him leading our efforts to bring BHSI's financial strength, long term focus, and underwriting and service excellence to this sector,” said Meredith Bullock, head of casualty for North America at BHSI.

Mr. Roe, who spent the last six years as head of construction for the Eastern region at BHSI, is taking the reins of casualty construction from Bill Sullivan, who is retiring after a 37-year career in the insurance industry, including most recently six years leading BHSI's efforts in the North American casualty construction marketplace.
