International broker Integro has hired Stephen Feron as senior vice president in its marine practice.
The New York-based executive will run the firm's marine cargo services, including managing placements and high level insurance carrier relationships for clients.
The executive joins from insurance giant Chubb, where he rose to the position of senior marine underwriter.
Feron also has experience on the brokerage side of the business with Willis Corroon.
Mark Kunney, president of Integro North America, commented: "Steve's background, balanced as it is between brokerage and underwriting, makes him an extraordinarily qualified advocate for marine industry clients."
