XL Catlin has announced a new chief underwriting officer for their global marine business.

Rob McAdams has been promoted to the role, having previously held the position of UK/Ireland marine leader.

McAdams has more than two decades of experience in the insurance industry, having held positions with Reliance National in New York prior to joining XL Catlin in 2000.
