Zurich Insurance Group Ltd. has promoted Hayley Robinson, current U.K. chief underwriting officer to group chief underwriting officer, effective June 1.

Ms. Robinson replaces Sierra Signorelli, who was named CEO of commercial insurance following the departure of James Shea.

Based in Zurich, Ms. Robinson will oversee underwriting across the group, Zurich said in a statement Friday.

Rob Kuchinski, current head of commercial insurance U.K., will assume responsibility for U.K. underwriting on an interim basis until Ms. Robinson’s successor has been announced, a Zurich spokesman said via email.

Ms. Robinson joined Zurich in 2018. Prior to that, she held various underwriting management roles at RSA Insurance Group PLC and Aviva PLC.
