Everest promotes Mark Shaw to chief commercial officer

Bermuda-based insurer Everest has appointed Mark Shaw (pictured), formerly UK commercial director and global account lead, as chief commercial officer for its international insurance division.

Shaw will oversee the expansion of Everest’s distribution leadership team, including recent growth across the UK and European retail business, client practice, and Everest global markets division.

Shaw, who joined Everest in 2022, will report to Adam Clifford and Jason Keen, co-leads of Everest Insurance International, and will continue to serve on the global broking team under the leadership of Anthony Izzo, SVP, chief global broking officer, and head of global facultative and hybrid solutions.

“Mark is an exceptional commercial leader with a proven track record of building high-performing teams and delivering strong outcomes for clients and brokers,” said Clifford. “His experience and insight across the UK and international markets will be key to elevating our market engagement and further expanding our global distribution platform.”

“We continue to invest in the growth and evolution of our international business with top-tier capabilities and talent,” said Keen. “Mark’s appointment reflects our commitment to delivering a unified, client-first approach globally. His leadership will be instrumental as we scale our distribution footprint and continue to build out a world-class team to support expanding needs.”
