Liberty Mutual names chief client officer

Liberty Mutual Insurance Co. on Thursday announced the appointment of Wesley Hyatt as chief client officer of the insurer’s global risk solutions division.

According to a Liberty Mutual spokesman, Ms. Hyatt steps into a “significantly expanded” role, formerly held by Mark Wheeler, who recently left the organization.

Ms. Hyatt, based in Boston, will lead the client executive team, helping to manage evolving risks faced by clients, and helping them and their brokers fully benefit from Liberty Mutual’s suite of global products, services and capabilities. She will also oversee the U.S. client service team, which provides day-to-day service support for large domestic policyholders and their brokers.

Ms. Hyatt has held a number of leadership roles at Liberty Mutual in claims and account management, and most recently as senior vice president of workers compensation claims.

In 2019, she was named one of Business Insurance’s Women to Watch.
