XL Catlin has appointed Sonja Ochsenkuehn as head of global programs with worldwide responsibility.
The company said in a statement that Ms. Ochsenkuehn would have direct responsibility over XL Catlin's global program platform, with teams in New York, London, Zurich, Mexico City, Hong Kong, New Delhi, and Vienna, reporting to Philippe Gouraud, XL Catlin's global head of strategic client and broker management.
Commenting, Mr. Gouraud said, “We are delighted to welcome Sonja to our global programs team. She has a track record of thriving in roles with a multinational focus and for delivering innovation. Sonja is the latest addition to the significant investment in talent we have made this year to support the growth of our global program and captive business.
“We made the strategic decision to strengthen our team because we recognize our clients' needs are changing and getting more complex, moving from the traditional risks, such as property and casualty programs, to include political violence and terrorism, supply chain disruption, or cyber risks.”
Ms. Ochsenkuehn joined XL Catlin from AIG with over 15 years' experience in the insurance industry. Most recently she held the position of head of knowledge strategy and network guidance.
She holds an M.B.A. from Union College, New York, and a master of business administration and industrial engineering from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in Germany.
She will be based in New York.
