Liberty GTS Announces Key Leadership Changes
Liberty Global Transaction Solutions (Liberty GTS), a division of Liberty Mutual Insurance, has unveiled strategic appointments aimed at enhancing its operations across multiple regions. Nicholas Lunn has been named the Head of the UK, Central Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, while Barbara Magni has been appointed as the Head of Southern Europe. Both executives will be reporting directly to Markus Messinger, who leads the EMEA division.
In his elevated role, Lunn will be responsible for steering the growth of a crucial multi-region portfolio. His tasks will include providing strategic underwriting and risk advisory services for high-value, multi-jurisdictional M&A transactions. Lunn will also retain oversight of the EMEA tax team. With over twenty years of extensive legal and underwriting expertise in complex transactional risk, Lunn joined Liberty GTS in 2020 and has since overseen operations as the Head of Southern Europe. Prior to this, he honed his skills at WTW, serving as an Executive Director within the M&A Transactional Risks team.
Magni, who will continue to operate from Milan, Italy, brings nearly a decade of experience with Liberty GTS. She initially joined the firm as a Senior M&A Underwriter and most recently held the position of Underwriting Manager for Southern Europe. A dual-qualified M&A attorney, Magni began her career training with Clyde & Co in London and later spent six years in the M&A department of a prominent Italian law firm.
Commenting on these pivotal appointments, Markus Messinger stated, “As the market continues to evolve, we are pleased to be able to make long-term commitments to our partners and the transactional risk market with the appointments of Nick and Barbara to their new roles. It also reflects the strength of Liberty GTS’ home-grown talent. Nick and Barbara’s legal expertise and depth of M&A market experience, along with their teams, make them perfectly qualified to support our clients and broker partners across the UK, CEE, MEA, and Southern Europe, ensuring consistent support as they seek to manage the risks within these markets on deals.”
