Markel Group Inc. on Monday announced the appointments of Simon Wilson, CEO of Markel Insurance, and Andrew Crowley, President of Markel Ventures, as Executive Vice Presidents of Markel Group, in addition to their current responsibilities.

Wilson and Crowley oversee Markel Group’s insurance and non‑insurance businesses, respectively. Both will report to Tom Gayner, CEO, Markel Group.

“These appointments represent our ongoing evolution of the Markel Group structure and the continued drive to simplify our business,” said Gayner. “With Simon and Andrew’s leadership and partnership, they are focused on serving the operations, customers and markets they know best.”

Additionally, Amy McCann has been promoted to Chief Administrative Officer, Markel Group, and she will also report to Gayner. McCann joined the company in 2019 and has served as the General Counsel, Markel Ventures, a subsidiary of Markel Group, since 2022. She will retain those responsibilities and in her expanded role will also work closely with Gayner and the executive leadership team to oversee operations and organizational matters.

“Amy has been an invaluable partner and leader to our team, and with her expanded responsibilities will help further align our operations and strategy, reinforce our culture, and strengthen connectivity across Markel Group,” said Gayner.

With these appointments, Mike Heaton, EVP and Chief Operating Officer, will be leaving Markel Group.

Gayner added, “I am deeply grateful for Mike’s dedication and contributions to Markel Group, and specifically for helping us build our non-insurance operations into an important component of Markel Group’s strong foundation.”

These changes are effective immediately.
