LONDON, Feb. 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Chubb today announced the creation of a new energy team in Chubb Global Markets (CGM) that will underwrite and serve as a centre of excellence for all large corporate energy customers in EMEA, Asia Pacific and Latin America.

Melanie Markwick-Day appointed Head of Upstream Energy. Melanie is responsible for managing and developing the upstream portfolio, moving from her most recent role as Upstream Energy Senior Underwriter COG.

Adam Groves appointed Head of Downstream Energy. Adam will oversee the management and development of the downstream energy portfolio. He was previously Regional Head of Energy for Chubb in MENA.

Jason Keen, President Chubb Global Markets, Executive Vice President Europe said:

"I'm delighted that under the leadership of Andrew, Melanie, Adam, Riaz and Matthew we have a very experienced team in place and by concentrating our resources we are creating an entrepreneurial underwriting environment that will bring new and innovative solutions to our clients not only within the London market, but further afield across EMEA, Latin America and Asia Pacific."

Matthew Hardy, Global Head of Energy, Executive Vice President Chubb Overseas General said:

"These structural changes will enhance the value proposition across our Global Energy operation and help us to deliver more focused solutions for our clients and distribution partners. Crafting two distinct operating models, with dedicated underwriting, engineering and claims teams, will enable us to create an effective offering for brokers and clients so we can respond to their needs even more quickly and capitalise on our global insights across both segments. Our regional offices will provide local expertise along with focused underwriting for our clients.  These changes also further demonstrate the breadth of technical understanding we have within Chubb Global Energy."
