Insurance intermediaries and industry-focused law firms are continuing to build out senior leadership benches.
The latest moves include a trio of C-suite finance and legal appointments at ANV Group, as well as a high-profile regulatory and investigations hire at Clyde & Co to bolster its capabilities in the Americas and EMEA.
Nationwide is bringing in insurance industry veteran Bobbie Goldie (pictured) to oversee its private company management liability and cyber liability teams. She will assume the role on May 4.
Goldie is an insurance executive with more than 25 years of leadership experience across cyber, financial lines and property and casualty insurance. She is widely recognized for her expertise in cyber risk, underwriting strategy and the development of innovative insurance solutions.
Most recently, Goldie led the transformation of the moving & storage division at IAT Insurance Group. She joined IAT in 2021 from Chubb, where she served as senior vice president for cyber and previously led the Canadian Major Accounts business spanning property, global casualty, environmental/construction, excess, specialty casualty and financial lines. In that role she helped integrate the ACE and Chubb Canadian operations following their merger.
ANV Group Holdings has appointed Jorden Zanazzi, Matt Cooper and Kyle Staver to its senior leadership team.
Zanazzi becomes chief legal officer, Cooper chief accounting officer, and Stavar global head of financial planning and analysis, as the company continues to build out its global platform.
As chief legal officer, Zanazzi will oversee ANV’s global legal, regulatory and compliance functions, supporting the company’s organic growth and acquisition strategy across multiple, complex regulatory environments.
Prior to joining ANV, Zanazzi held a variety of senior legal roles, including chief legal officer at a leading US-based insurance distribution platform.
Meanwhile, Cooper will lead the company’s global accounting and financial reporting functions. He joins ANV from AssuredPartners, where he served as global controller, leading the corporate accounting, purchase accounting, consolidations, technical accounting and financial reporting functions.
ANV also announced the appointment of Kyle Stavar as head of financial planning and analysis. In this role, Stavar will lead ANV’s FP&A function, overseeing budgeting, forecasting, performance management and strategic financial analysis across the platform.
Stavar joins ANV from NFP, where he most recently served as senior vice president, finance, leading regional FP&A teams and overseeing enterprise-wide budgeting, forecasting, KPI strategy and financial systems transformation. He previously held senior FP&A roles at NFP and earlier finance positions at Patient Conversation Media and Chilton Capital Management.
Clyde & Co has appointed Jeff Cottle as head of regulatory and investigations, white-collar crime and sanctions, Americas, and co-head of white-collar crime and sanctions, EMEA, marking the launch of a dedicated regulatory and investigations (R&I) capability in the Americas.
Cottle, who joins the firm from Eversheds Sutherland, where he was co-head of the national security practice and global co-head of the industrials sector, will be based in Clyde & Co’s Washington, D.C. office and work closely with its global network. The firm said his arrival will materially enhance its ability to support clients in the United States and globally as they face increasingly complex enforcement and regulatory risks.
Cottle’s hire forms part of Clyde & Co’s broader investment in its global regulatory and investigations practice, which brings together more than 160 partners worldwide advising clients on regulatory enforcement, white-collar crime, sanctions, export controls, compliance and crisis response. The firm’s R&I lawyers work across jurisdictions, supporting clients through investigations by regulators and prosecutors and helping manage regulatory risk in highly regulated and high-risk sectors.
This year marks the firm’s 20th anniversary in North America, reflecting two decades of strategic growth and investment that have resulted in a platform of more than 400 attorneys, including over 100 partners in 21 offices across the United States and Canada. Recent growth has included new offices in Northwest Indiana and Seattle (2026), Dallas (2025), Boston (2023) and Calgary (2022), as the firm continues to expand its presence across the region.
