Liberty Mutual Insurance announced that Julie Haase has been named executive vice president and chief financial officer, effective Jan. 1, 2025, replacing Christopher Peirce, who will retire at the end of 2024.

Peirce held multiple leadership roles during his notable, nearly three-decade career at Liberty Mutual, including president of the Global Specialty and Commercial Markets business units, as well as various financial roles within Liberty International, including chief financial Officer from 2006 to 2011.

He joined the company in 1995 as a manager in the Corporate Financial group.

Haase joins the company’s executive leadership team and will report to president and chief executive officer Tim Sweeney.

Currently, she is the executive vice president, executive managing director and chief operating officer of Liberty Mutual Investments (LMI), the global, multi-strategy firm that manages capital for Liberty Mutual.

Haase joined Liberty Mutual in 2002 as a financial analyst and held various roles of increasing responsibility within the Corporate and Personal Insurance Finance organizations.

In 2011, she joined Personal Lines Distribution to build out the organization’s strategy and analytics capabilities and later led a portion of the U.S. local sales and service operations.

In 2014, Haase was named chief financial officer for the company’s Personal Insurance division with her role expanding over the next several years to include global operations and U.S. small commercial for Global Retail Markets.
