David S. Charlton was the Chief Executive Officer of Global Indemnity Group, LLC from January 2019 until his departure in October 2022. He brings over 34 years of experience in the property and casualty insurance industry. Before leading Global Indemnity, he worked at Chubb Limited for seven years, where he helped expand their specialty insurance division. Charlton also held senior roles at Berkshire Hathaway’s United States Liability Insurance Company, with significant experience in excess and surplus lines and specialty insurance. Under his guidance, Global Indemnity focused on underwriting results and improving their specialty lines portfolio. Notably, he received a total compensation of around $1.15 million in 2022, but lost his bonus opportunity waiting for a transition, showcasing the ups and downs of executive positions. Charlton has a background in professional liability and started his career at Philadelphia Consolidated Insurance Companies. He is a graduate of Babson College, and even held a position as chairman of a professional liability underwriting society. This blend of experience illustrates a strong grounding in both operations and industry standards, although his time with Global Indemnity ended abruptly due to a shift in company management strategy.
