Global property and casualty insurer Chubb has announced two leadership appointments within its Overseas General (COG) division: Ben McGregor as senior vice president and head of commercial insurance property and Alex Forman as senior vice president and head of commercial insurance casualty.
Both executives assume their new roles immediately and report to John DePeters, COG’s executive vice president and head of commercial insurance and specialty businesses.
McGregor and Forman will be responsible for driving performance and growth of COG’s mid-market capabilities, including refining segment-specific underwriting strategies for the commercial property and casualty portfolios.
In addition, they will work with industry practice leadership to leverage advanced analytics and new technologies to expand the division’s offerings.
“These appointments underscore the strength of our leadership talent and our continued commitment to investing in a world-class commercial insurance platform with strong underwriting discipline and focused growth,” DePeters said. “Ben and Alex each bring deep technical expertise to their roles, and together they will be instrumental in expanding our capabilities.”
McGregor has more than 30 years of experience in the insurance industry, including 23 years with Chubb. During his time at Chubb, he was responsible for leading and developing real estate portfolios in Australia, New Zealand and Asia.
Most recently he was head of property and terrorism for the UK and Ireland region. He is a Research Fellow at the Australia and New Zealand Institute of Insurance and Finance.
Forman has more than two decades of experience in the insurance industry. Prior to joining Chubb in 2020, he led teams at AIG and Swiss Re Corporate Solutions and was head of UK retail underwriting.
