"Simon is a proven leader with extensive insurance expertise, and his leadership approach aligns with both the Markel Style and our current needs," said Tom Gayner, Chief Executive Officer of Markel Group. "Markel's growth has been impressive, but it also brought new challenges and unnecessary complexity, as confirmed by our ongoing Board-led business review. At times, we unintentionally made it harder for our people to serve our customers. I'm confident in Simon's vision for growing this fortress of an insurance business through teams that are focused on serving the customers and markets that they know best."
"I am deeply honored by this opportunity," said Wilson. "Markel is at its best when our leaders are given equal parts empowerment and accountability. Our work going forward will ensure that we make decisions as close to the customer as possible, reduce complexity, and restore our commitment to being a market leader in each of our pursuits."
As a result of this leadership transition, Jeremy Noble will be leaving the company.
Gayner added, "I've worked alongside Jeremy for more than 20 years and am immensely grateful for his relentless efforts on behalf of the business, in particular during the past few years as he worked to strengthen the foundation of our insurance operations."
Alongside this leadership transition, the State National and Nephila leadership teams will continue to operate with a high degree of autonomy and they will now report directly into Markel Group, alongside Markel Insurance. These three businesses will continue to actively collaborate where opportunities exist in the marketplace.
