Chubb has named Jeremiah Konz as executive vice president, reinsurance officer for Chubb Overseas General Insurance, the company’s international general insurance business in over 50 countries and territories.
Konz is currently senior vice president, Ceded Reinsurance for Chubb’s North American operations.

Konz will report to Timothy O’Donnell, vice president, Chubb Group and division president, Commercial Property and Casualty, Overseas General Insurance, and to Michael Kessler, vice president, Chubb Group and chief reinsurance officer.
Konz has nearly 20 years of insurance industry experience. Before joining Chubb in 2012, he worked as an executive for reinsurance brokerage firm Aon Benfield providing analytic expertise to large commercial property reinsurance placements.
