Chief claims officer
Everest Insurance
Before stepping into insurance, Megan Watt spent a decade practicing law, with a focus on insurance coverage litigation. She began her insurance career with AIG as a complex director in the excess coverage division and eventually moved into management roles within the unit. She was later promoted to senior vice president of excess specialty, and then appointed to global head of complex casualty, covering construction defect, mass tort/asbestos and environmental specialty claims.
Watt joined Everest as chief claims officer in early 2017, where she now leads a claims and operations team across multiple product lines, working to deliver world-class claims services for the fast-growing specialty carrier. “Throughout her accomplished career, Megan has been known as a leader who inspires collaboration among her team and those with whom she engages,” says Everest CEO Jonathan Zaffino.
