Steven Bauman joins XL Catlin as head of global programmes and captive practice in North America

XL Catlin has appointed Steven Bauman as head of global programmes and captive practice in North America. Until recently he was head of captive services at Zurich Insurance Group. He will be based in New York and report to Matthew Latham, XL Catlin’s global head of captive programmes.

“New business risks continue to emerge and regulatory issues are growing more complicated globally,” said Mr Latham. “That is why we’re committed to building out our global programmes and captive expertise with top industry talent like Steven, whose extensive experience will ensure our clients and brokers get the best possible captive-related solutions that address their risks now and in the future.”

XL Catlin said that in his new role, Mr Bauman will oversee the growth and development of XL Catlin’s global insurance programmes and captive business in North America.

He will provide technical support across business lines in structuring global captive programmes, and ensure global programmes are in compliance and following best practices. He will also work with XL Catlin clients and broking partners to develop new and innovative captive products.
