Argo taps Markel for professional liability chief

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. 

He was previously senior director of US professional E&O at Markel where he managed a $110 million portfolio with a diverse range of professional lines. He also served in management roles at Axis Capital and Capital One Bank.

“John’s proven track record and expertise in professional liability and financial services make him a valuable addition to our team. We are excited to welcome him and are confident his leadership will further strengthen our capabilities and client relationships at Argo,” said Boughal.
