Munich Reinsurance America, Inc., has created several new senior executive positions and has realigned its executive leadership team for its reinsurance division.

“The new positions and realigned U.S. reinsurance division executive leadership team reflect a flatter underwriting structure and a greater focus on our innovation efforts. This will further enhance our ability to deliver products and services to meet the evolving needs of our clients,” said Steve Levy, chief executive officer and president of the company's reinsurance division. “It will also result in more nimble leadership and enable us to respond more quickly and effectively to a rapidly changing market environment.”

Underwriting responsibility will now be shared among several leaders who also will serve as members of the reinsurance division executive leadership team:

- Gerry Skalka was appointed head of casualty underwriting;

- Martin Neuhaus was appointed head of specialty lines and facultative underwriting, including professional liability/cyber, credit and surety, and marine;

- Effective November 2018, Mike Quigley was appointed head of property underwriting; and

- Tim Brockett was appointed head of innovation and strategic products.

Others who will comprise the reinsurance division executive leadership team in their current roles include:

- Stephan Hochburger, client executive;

- Oliver Horbelt, head of capital partners;

- Paul Ludwig, client executive;

- Sam McCroskey, client executive;

- Risa Ryan, head of strategy and analysis; and

- Joe Stuhl, broker executive.

“The members of the executive leadership team are all highly experienced and have deep industry knowledge in their respective areas of responsibility. I look forward to working with the team as we continue to advance our position as an industry leader and a partner to clients and brokers in delivering innovative risk solutions,” said Mr. Levy.
