Chubb has created a new role within its financial lines operations.

London-based Kyle Bryant (pictured), who joined the company a decade ago in New York, has been tapped to serve as head of financial lines for Continental Europe. He most recently held the position of cyber underwriting manager for Europe, Eurasia, and Africa.

“Financial lines is a fundamentally important part of our business, and I am delighted that Kyle will be leading our team in Continental Europe,” commented Adrian Matthews, chief operating officer, head of property and casualty, Continental Europe. “Kyle has a proven track record as a leader, achieving tremendous success in his role as regional cyber underwriting manager.

“He has been instrumental in creating a powerful cyber proposition for Chubb throughout Europe by providing our clients with the comprehensive and holistic protection they need in this evolving risk area. Kyle is expertly placed to ensure we continue to grow our financial lines portfolio through new agile solutions and methods of delivery for our customers and brokers.”

Effective immediately, Bryant will report not only to Matthews but also to Steve Goldman, head of financial lines, Chubb Overseas General. He will be in charge of leading the financial lines team in the region – overseeing strategic development, execution, and financial performance.
