CNA Insurance Company has appointed Mark Figes as casualty manager.

In his new role, Figes will assume responsibility for the management and development of CNA Europe’s casualty portfolio, with particular emphasis on expansion in continental Europe and the UK regions. He takes up his new position immediately, reporting to CNA Europe CEO Julian Enoizi.

His experience encompasses underwriting, management and expanding in to new territories. He has an impressive track record of developing profitable portfolios worldwide.”

Figes added: “I look forward to growing the CNA franchise. As well as developing our London-based business, we see significant opportunities to widen our underwriting operations in continental Europe.”
