Both leaders will report to Catherine Roe, president of CNA Canada, and work closely with the company's global leadership team.
Inglis joins CNA from Chubb, where he served as vice president, underwriting, with experience across manufacturing, real estate, professional services and financial institutions. In his new role, he will focus on expanding and diversifying CNA Canada’s Commercial Mid-Market (CMM) portfolio, strengthening broker relationships and underwriting capabilities. Inglis succeeds Dean Grigoruk, who retires on December 31, 2025.
Herron will continue to lead CNA Canada’s Construction insurance vertical, overseeing large and complex construction risks. His role includes maintaining technical expertise, service responsiveness, and innovative solutions for clients and brokers.
Catherine Roe highlighted that these appointments support CNA Canada’s strategy to provide specialized insurance solutions with clear appetite, faster responsiveness, and stronger collaboration with broker partners. The changes reinforce the company’s focus on growth in both the mid-market and construction segments while ensuring continuity and alignment with CNA’s global operations.
The leadership changes could strengthen CNA Canada’s competitive position in both Commercial Mid-Market and Construction insurance.
Inglis’ experience in underwriting across multiple sectors may enable the company to broaden its product offerings and capture new market segments, potentially increasing market share in the mid-market space. Herron’s continued leadership in Construction risks ensures continuity in a complex and highly competitive vertical, supporting long-term client relationships and risk management expertise.
For the wider insurance industry, these appointments signal a continued focus on specialized expertise and broker engagement as key drivers of growth.
