CNA expands executive ranks with former Chubb hires

CNA Financial Corp. said Monday it has added two senior executives to its commercial insurance operations.

Kathleen Ellis has been appointed to the newly created role of senior vice president of international. CNA said that in her new role, Ms. Ellis will work with CNA Commercial, CNA Specialty and CNA International to build a stronger global platform to pursue, write and service multinational business around the world.

Mr. Feldman also comes from Chubb, where he most recently served as North America commercial marine manager.

Both Ms. Ellis and Mr. Feldman will be based in Chicago.
