Lyndsey Christofer

Chubb Ltd. on Tuesday named Lyndsey Christofer as executive vice president, construction industry practice leader, for its large account segment.

Ms. Christofer replaces Stephen Buonpane, who is no longer with the company, a Chubb spokesman said in an email.

She will be based in New York and report to Matt Merna, senior vice president, Chubb Group, and division president of the insurer’s North America major accounts.

As executive vice president, Ms. Christofer will oversee strategic direction and lead a team of underwriting specialists across multiple lines of business serving construction clients and brokers, Chubb said. 

She will also oversee Chubb’s primary casualty and excess liability line of business for large account construction policyholders, the insurer said.

Ms. Christofer was previously senior vice president, underwriting, where she was the primary casualty division lead for Chubb’s construction industry practice.
