Liberty Speciality Markets (LSM) has appointed Guillaume de Lestang as senior underwriter for financial lines in its Zurich office.
Lestang will report to Zurich branch manager Felix Böni.
He will focus on Switzerland’s French-speaking regions and will oversee underwriting and product development for director and officer liability, professional liability, and crime, kidnap, ransom and cyber risks.
He joins from Aon in Geneva, where he worked as a broker. Prior to this, Lestang spent five years as an underwriter in the Paris and Zurich offices of an insurer.
John McCammon, LSM’s head of international network offices, commented: “Lestang brings to the team an impressive amount of market experience. His main focus will be to strengthen our presence and to further develop our financial lines book.”
“Working alongside our existing Zurich team, his arrival marks a real enhancement to our underwriting capability in Switzerland.”
