Bermudian-based Everest Group Ltd has appointed industry veteran Glen Browne as global head of Accident & Health.

Mr Browne, who most recently served as head of international corporate strategy at Everest Insurance, will continue to report to Adam Clifford, co-lead of Everest Insurance International.

“Glen’s appointment underscores Everest’s commitment to the A&H market, and the global businesses who need our protection to thrive in the heightened risk environment,” said Mike Karmilowicz, president and CEO of Everest Insurance.
