Chubb announces leadership changes in EMEA and North America

Global insurer Chubb has announced that Ana Robic, Division President of Personal Risk Services (PRS), North America, has been appointed Regional President of Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA), succeeding David Furby, who has been named Executive Chairman, both effective April 1, 2025.

Robic has been with Chubb for 25 years. She was named Division President of Chubb PRS in 2021 after serving as the business’s Chief Operating Officer. Before PRS, she held leadership roles at Chubb in Canada, including in Commercial Insurance, the Underwriting Center, and the Excess and Umbrella division.

In her new role, Robic will oversee Chubb’s European business, including operations in the United Kingdom, continental Europe, Chubb Global Markets, the Middle East, and Africa.

She will report to Paul McNamee, Executive Vice President, Chubb Group, and President, Chubb Overseas General Insurance.

Furby brings more than 40 years of insurance industry experience. Before serving as Regional President for Chubb’s EMEA business and Global Markets, he was Division President of Property and Casualty, Overseas General Insurance in New York and London, and Regional President of Continental Europe. He joined ACE Group (now Chubb) in 1996.

As Executive Chairman, Furby will provide executive oversight of Chubb’s general insurance business in the region, including strategy and governance. He will also remain a member of Chubb’s European Group Board and continue chairing its Underwriting Risk Committee.

McNamee stated, “These appointments and increased responsibilities demonstrate Chubb’s deep bench of talent with long-tenured executives who are able to take on increased responsibilities, as well as the growth aspirations we have for our business. I am thrilled to welcome Ana into Chubb Overseas General and the region’s leadership. She is an accomplished and widely respected executive leader within Chubb with a strong underwriting sense.

“I would also like to thank David for his leadership in Europe over the last seven years. Under David, our business has grown substantially and has been a pillar of performance within our international operations.”

Juan Luis Ortega, Executive Vice President, Chubb Group, and President, Chubb North America, said, “Under Ana’s leadership, PRS North America has consistently delivered strong results and improvements in the operating capabilities of our company. Her appointment recognizes her significant accomplishments and is a testament to global talent mobility, a hallmark of Chubb.”

Melissa Scheffler, currently Chief Operating Officer of PRS, will succeed Robic as President of the business and assume the role of Vice President, Chubb Group. She will report to Ortega.

Ortega added, “Melissa has repeatedly set new bars of achievement throughout her tenure at Chubb, and I am confident she will do the same leading PRS. As COO, Melissa has been involved in all facets of PRS, making her uniquely qualified to lead the business going forward.”
