Commenting Thierry Daucourt, COO, International Property and Casualty at XL Group said: “Over recent years XL Group has expanded the Facilities it offers to include all lines of business today. Richard will lead  International Property and Casualty’s Facilities Centre of Excellence in order to provide the highest standards of best practice and guidance to our underwriters and support staff. The role involves Richard identifying and converting business opportunities as well as creating the governance framework to support ongoing delivery.

“This will in turn allow us to deliver a superior service to those who have Facilities with us.”  Mr. Daucourt added: “Richard has the knowledge and talent to really take our Facilities and product and service offering to the next level.”
