"Her vision and experience in designing digital innovations while motivating multi-discipline teams to deliver solutions fully aligns with XL Catlin's focus on being a market leader in providing superior products and services to our colleagues and clients."
McGavick adds that Karna also "will work closely" with XL Innovate, the company's venture-capital arm; and Accelerate, its internal innovation team, "to further enhance data, analytics and innovation which in turn will allow us to expand our offerings."
