Bermuda-domiciled global re/insurer Everest Group, Ltd. has promoted Andrew McBride to Group Chief Claims Officer and appointed Lope Garcia as Global Reinsurance Chief Claims Officer.
In his new role, McBride will lead claims across Everest’s insurance and reinsurance divisions, working closely with the firm’s global leaders.
Most recently, as the Global Head of Claims at Everest Insurance, he developed a highly talented team, with enhanced capabilities, service and expertise.
Before joining Everest in 2021, McBride served as Executive Vice President, Claims at Chubb and has led claims functions at ACE, QBE Insurance Group in Europe, and Aon.
Garcia, the new Global Reinsurance Chief Claims Officer, will be based in Miami and will report to McBride. He will work closely with Jill Beggs, Reinsurance Chief Operating Officer, and her Global Executive team to direct the function’s strategy and operations.
Garcia has more than three decades of claims leadership experience, most recently as Senior Vice President of Claims for Latin America at Chubb, where he designed and executed the organization’s claims strategy. In the past, he has also served as Chief Claims Officer for Latin America at Zurich and AIG.
Juan C. Andrade, Everest President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Exceptional claims management is a cornerstone of Everest’s reputation. Andrew and Lope are both seasoned and trusted leaders, with a record of building successful global claims operations. I look forward to working with both of them as we continue providing the superior service and experience Everest is known to deliver.”
