Argo Group has appointed former Markel executive John Lecci as senior vice president and head of professional liability.
Lecci will report to Steven Boughal, head of Argo Group’s professional lines, and has more than 23 years of industry experience. Argo has substantial Bermuda operations and was recently bought by Bermuda-based Brookfield Re.
