Liberty Mutual Insurance Group has appointed Gareth Rees as global lines leader for its Global Transaction Solutions (GTS) business.
Rees took up the role on 1 July and is based in London.
He reports to Thomas Leahy, global product leader, financial lines, at Liberty Mutual.
Rees (pictured) was most recently chief underwriting officer for GTS, a role he held for six years.
He joined the business in 2015 and has held a series of senior roles within GTS.
Liberty Mutual said Rees has played a central role in shaping the global business.
In his new role, he will work with the GTS leadership team across EMEA, APAC and the Americas, with responsibility for driving the business’s strategic priorities.
A former corporate lawyer, Rees has experience in M&A across a range of industry sectors.
He succeeds Rowan Bamford, who has left the business to pursue new opportunities.
Leahy said: “We are delighted to announce Gareth’s new role as leader of GTS. He has spent the past decade helping to build out our global team of industry-leading transactional risk experts.
“Under his leadership, we are confident GTS will continue to provide specialist expertise and agile solutions to its clients and brokers in an increasingly complex transactional risk environment.”
