Markel CFO succession date moved up

Jeremy Noble

The chief financial officer succession at Markel Corp. will take place in September as opposed to the first quarter of 2019 as previously announced by the company, according to a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Jeremy A. Noble will succeed Anne G. Waleski as chief financial officer on Sept. 5 rather than early next year, as the Glen Allen, Virginia-based insurer stated in November.

Now senior vice president for finance, Mr. Noble will become CFO and senior vice president on Sept. 5, the filing said.

Ms. Waleski will become an executive vice president of the company, in charge of its disbursements, billing and collections operations as well as its community relations and charitable giving initiatives, the filing said.

Mr. Noble was finance director for Markel International from June 2015 through June 2018, the filing said. He joined Markel in 2002 and was managing director of internal audit from 2011 to 2015.
