Liberty appoints Marilyne Furlan as Head of Casualty for Europe

Liberty Specialty Markets (LSM), part of Liberty Mutual Insurance Group, has announced the appointment of Marilyne Furlan as Head of Casualty, Europe, effective December 2023. She will report to Pierre-Edouard Fraigneau, CUO, LSM, Europe, and will be an active member of both the European Underwriting Management Team and Liberty’s Casualty Global Product Board. Furlan will be based in Paris.

Furlan is replacing Katja Bobrowski who will be retiring in February 2024. They will work together to ensure a seamless transition for LSM’s clients and brokers in the region. In her new role, Furlan will be responsible for ensuring sustainable growth across casualty lines in Europe and will provide oversight and leadership on LSM’s casualty underwriting strategy and product offering.

Pierre-Edouard Fraigneau said: “We thank Katja for her instrumental support in building and leading our European casualty book and wish her the best in her retirement. Marilyne’s two decades of industry experience will be vital in supporting our strategic growth in the region as we continue to deliver our global casualty ambitions across LSM. She has a track record of high performance in casualty management roles, and it’s great to have her on board.”

Furlan joins from RSA where she has held several casualty management roles. She was most recently Head of Liability Lines for Europe.
