The London Market Group has added David Kirk, division president at Chubb Global Markets, to its board as a representative of the International Underwriting Association. Kirk replaces David Furby, senior vice president at Chubb Group.

Kirk was appointed to his current role at Chubb in 2024, bringing almost 20 years of industry experience that encompasses various positions within Chubb’s marine operations, most recently serving as deputy CUO and head of marine.

Sean McGovern, CEO of AXA XL UK and chair of the London Market Group, said: “I would like to welcome David Kirk, who has deep expertise in one of the heartland classes of business in the London Market and I would also like to extend the sincere thanks of the board to David Furby for his time and contributions as a member of the board.”

Kirk added: “I look forward to engaging with my fellow board members to shape and support the work of the LMG going forward. As we operate in an ever-more perilous global risk landscape, and with London facing increasing competition from other established and emerging markets, the work of the LMG has never been more important.”
