Everest compliance appointment follows a decade at the group
Taylor initially joined Everest as Associate General Counsel in 2016. Seven years later, she was appointed Vice President & Associate General Counsel, and in 2023 she was also appointed to lead the North America Regulatory & Government Affairs team.
The new title moves her from a regional regulatory leadership position to a global group role. The appointment details do not specify an effective date, reporting line or changes to the structure of Everest’s compliance organization.
Before joining Everest, Taylor worked as an associate attorney at Wright & Close and McElroy, Deutsch, Mulvaney & Carpenter. Her earlier insurance experience included paralegal and claims roles at AIG.
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| Wright & Close | Taylor spent one year as an associate attorney before joining Everest. |
| McElroy, Deutsch, Mulvaney & Carpenter | Taylor spent close to six years as an associate attorney. |
| AIG | Earlier roles included Paralegal, Claims Analyst and Professional Associate-Claims. |
Canada treaty promotion is a separate leadership move
Everest also recently announced Mike Reed’s promotion to Head of Canada Treaty Reinsurance. The company cited his underwriting expertise and collaborative leadership as it continues to build its Canadian business.
Everest’s Canadian treaty reinsurance offering spans property, casualty and specialty coverage, including agriculture, cyber, marine and mortgage products. That product range provides context for Reed’s business area, rather than establishing any change in its strategy or underwriting targets.
Taylor’s appointment concerns group compliance and regulatory affairs, while Reed’s promotion concerns a specific reinsurance business. The disclosed moves do not establish a broader organizational restructuring.
Conclusion
Taylor’s appointment extends her Everest career into global compliance leadership. No further implementation timetable was disclosed; details of the role’s reporting structure remain to be announced.
