RSA have appointed Rachel Conran as the new permanent chief operating officer of RSA Luxembourg after being the interim CEO since August 2018.

Conran will report to UK & International chief executive Scott Egan and will become a member of the UK&I executive committee.

Conran joined RSA earlier in the year as chief underwriting officer (CUO) for global risk solutions.

In her new role, she and her team will focus on European risks while the newly unified RSA Commercial Lines will focus on UK broker and London market risks.

Rachel’s permanent appointment follows the merger of RSA’s commercial risk solutions and global risk solutions businesses to create a single business unit, RSA Commercial Lines.

Rachel previously served as chief underwriting officer and CEO of SCOR’s Global Insurance Business; and CUO and global head of property of Allianz Global Corporate and Specialty.

Of the appointment, Egan said: “As we continue to shape our UK and International business, I’m delighted to have Rachel leading our European team on a permanent basis. Rachel brings strong leadership experience and underwriting skills, and, under her stewardship, we can go from strength to strength on the continent.”

Conran added: “I’m delighted to be taking on the role of RSA Luxembourg CEO on a permanent basis. I’ve had the chance to get the lie of the land and learn about the business over the past two months and I am relishing the challenge ahead.”
