Resilience Names Chris Pitcher Head of North America Underwriting Strategy and Operations, Promotes Alex Carleton to US Distribution Leader

Promotions bring underwriting strategy and broker distribution in the United States and Canada under unified leadership

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Resilience, the leading cyber risk solutions company, today announced two promotions that connect its underwriting strategy, operations and broker distribution in North America. Chris Pitcher has been named Head of North America Underwriting Strategy and Operations, and Alex Carleton has been promoted to US Distribution Leader.

"By aligning North American distribution, underwriting strategy, and operations under Chris' leadership, we are giving brokers a clearer view of our appetite and a quicker path to coverage that fits their clients' risk," said George Kotsiopoulos, president of insurance at Resilience. "Chris has spent his career on both sides of that broker and underwriter relationship, shaping underwriting strategy and building broker partnerships."

Pitcher joined Resilience in 2025 and most recently served as Senior Vice President of Enterprise Underwriting Performance where he led enterprise initiatives spanning underwriting playbooks, workflow automation, and capacity and product projects. He previously spent a decade at Arch Insurance, where he held underwriting roles in its US professional liability business before becoming Assistant Vice President and Head of Cyber for Arch Insurance Canada, building and growing its presence across program and open brokerage channels. In 2024, Insurance Business Canada named him one of its Rising Stars.

In his new role, Pitcher will continue to shape and execute Resilience's underwriting strategy. He now takes on strategic oversight of distribution and operations across the United States and Canada, where he will build the broker-facing processes, performance framework, and relationship cadence for the region. He will continue working across Resilience's product, operations, and underwriting teams, and will report to Kotsiopoulos.

Carleton joined Resilience in 2022 as Western Regional Manager. He has more than a decade of experience in commercial insurance across underwriting and brokerage. Before Resilience, he was an underwriting consultant at CNA and a master underwriter at Intact Insurance Specialty Solutions. Earlier, he spent nearly four years underwriting mid-market technology and life science accounts at The Hartford, and he began his insurance career at Costello & Sons Insurance Brokers.

As US Distribution Leader, Carleton will lead Resilience's relationships with retail and wholesale broker partners across the United States. He will focus on deepening existing partnerships, broadening Resilience's broker relationships, maintaining Resilience's national presence in the market and ensure broker feedback on market conditions, client needs, and placement experience reaches Resilience's underwriting and product teams.
