Zurich North America appoints new head of management liability
Zurich North America, a provider of commercial insurance products and services, has appointed Eric Amadori as the head of management liability – public. Effective immediately, Amadori will report to Nora Hattauer, Financial Lines head, the insurer said. The Financial Lines group at Zurich delivers management liability coverages to a diverse range of clients, from large publicly traded companies to privately held middle market businesses and non-profit organisations. Hattauer said: 'Eric comes to Zurich with over 20 years of experience underwriting and managing financial lines products. 'His deep technical knowledge in management liability will help us deliver best-in-class solutions to publicly traded companies and their brokers.' Amadori will be joining forces with Paul Giliberto, who oversees management liability for private and non-profit entities. The team is a segment of the Specialties business unit at Zurich, known for providing a suite of insurance coverages including directors & officers (D&O), employment practices liability, fiduciary liability and crime insurance. Amadori previously served as managing director of Markel's management professional liability team for 14 years. His background also includes leadership and underwriting positions at Arch Insurance and AIG. Zurich expects Amadori's expertise to be instrumental in driving the success of the Financial Lines team, which also offers Zurich Multinational solutions such as D&O coverage through International Towers by Zurich. In January 2025, Zurich North America reinforced its commitment to specialisation by establishing a new Specialties business unit, amalgamating its Construction, Surety and Financial Lines businesses. Kelly Kinzer, the former head of construction, was appointed to lead this new unit. Additionally, Zurich streamlined its customer and distribution management function, now led by John Diaz, who previously managed US Middle Market Underwriting. This comprehensive overhaul aligns with Zurich Insurance's latest three-year business plan, which was unveiled during Zurich Investor Day 2024 in November.
