Ironshore Inc. has appointed James Dover to be senior vice president of its terrorism and sabotage insurance practice, to be based in New York.
He will report to Quentin Prebble, the director of the marine practice of Ironshore's Pembroke Managing Agency Limited, based in London, which includes cargo, war and terrorism, and political risk.
Mr. Dover has more than 10 years' experience as a specialist in developing and underwriting terrorism risk and related product lines. Most recently, he developed a standalone terrorism business for global excess partners. Previously, from 2004 to 2011, he was managing director with Aon crisis management in the U.S., with responsibility for Aon's U.S. terrorism and sabotage business in addition to managing the development of kidnap and ransom, political risk, product recall, consulting, and terrorism product lines. Mr. Dover's tenure with Aon included a leadership role with its U.S. captive group, from 2001 to 2004, overseeing the formation of single parent captives to access TRIPRA, which involved working with state regulators and U.S. Treasury officials for the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program.
“James possesses a deep knowledge and understanding of the multiple corporate strategies that can be employed to manage the complex, uncertainties of terrorism risk,” said David Frediani, the president of Ironshore International. “As a highly regarded industry professional with extensive expertise in this specialty sector, he will enhance Ironshore's terrorism capabilities to help customers protect against the threat of heightened global risk exposure.”
