Liberty Int’l Underwriters Names McCarthy as Head of Global Crisis Mgmt. Unit

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.

Based in New York City, McCarthy was most recently vice president of the unit for the U.S. for the past seven years.

“Jane’s an expert in global crisis management and 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, 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.”

LIU’s underwriting team, along with in-house claims and loss prevention experts, offers specialized loss control engineering and loss mitigation as part of its comprehensive suite of Global Crisis Management products. LIU also partners with multiple crisis management services groups that provide LIU clients with local experts throughout the U.S., Europe, Asia, and Latin America.
