Underwriting and Service Capabilities Across Small and Lower Middle
Market Segments

Small & Lower Midmarket
WHITEHOUSE STATION, N.J., March 12,
2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Chubb (NYSE: CB) today announced
the creation of a new division within its North America Middle
Market organization, combining Chubb's Lower Middle Market and
Digital Small Business divisions into a single cohesive unit that
will operate as North America Small & Lower Midmarket.
Rob Poliseno has been appointed
Division President, Small & Lower Midmarket, reporting to
Ben Rockwell, Division President,
Chubb North America Middle Market.
Jason Ranucci has been named Chief
Operating Officer, Small & Lower Midmarket, reporting to Rob.
Both appointments are effective immediately.
Commenting on the news, Juan Luis
Ortega, Executive Vice President, Chubb Group, and President, Chubb North America, said, "The small business
and lower middle market segments present significant growth and
expansion opportunities for Chubb. As the distribution landscape
continues to evolve, agents and brokers increasingly demand
simplicity, efficient and fast underwriting, and seamless digital
experiences. This combination integrates our decades-long
underwriting experience in the Lower Middle Market with the agility
and speed of our Digital Small Business division, allowing us to
apply the full power and deep expertise of our team to service
clients in this segment and drive growth."
Rob brings over 28 years of industry experience to his new
position, including nearly 17 years with Chubb. Previously, he
served as Division President, Small Business and North America
Digital. His strong background in insurance underwriting and
distribution, backed by a proven track record of operational
excellence, positions him well to lead Chubb's Small & Lower
Midmarket business.
As COO of the unit, Jason will have broad operating
responsibility – including P&L management and oversight of both
field and home office underwriting, as well as product, pricing,
portfolio management and analytics. With over 17 years of
experience in insurance, he has been serving as Head of North
America Lower Middle Market, and was previously Global Chief
Underwriting Officer for Small Business.
"Launching this division represents an important milestone in
how we serve the small and lower middle market business segment,"
said Middle Market President Rockwell. "Rob and Jason will build on
their successes in this space, leveraging our investments in a
modern, automated and data-centric digital operating model that
differentiates our approach to a wide range of companies across all
industry practices and positions this business for robust growth.
This division will offer more seamless coverage through a
comprehensive suite of products and services, including P&C,
Financial Lines, Cyber, Multinational, and Accident & Health,
while offering agents the options of either a fully
digital/automated experience or a digitally augmented service
model."
