Hiscox Re has appointed Bevis Tetlow to a new role as chair of its North America and Caribbean business, and Philip Vandoninck also to a new role of chair of its international operations.
Mr. Tetlow, who is based in Bermuda, joined Hiscox in 2005 and previously had roles at Risk Management Solutions as well as an independent consultant.
Mr. Vandoninck, also based in Bermuda, joined Hiscox Belgium in 2004 underwriting high value household and fine art, before moving on to Hiscox's office in London underwriting non-marine treaty reinsurance. In 2005, he moved to Hiscox's newly opened Bermuda office to help set up its reinsurance operations.
Both roles, covering strategy across Hiscox Re's platforms in Bermuda, London, and Paris, will report to Hiscox Re's chief underwriting officer, Mike Krefta.
Commenting on the appointments, Mr. Krefta said, “Since the formation of Hiscox Re at the beginning of this year, we've been working hard to build and evolve our organization to meet the needs of our clients and brokers in a challenging market. As part of their new roles, Philip and Bevis will manage underwriting strategy for their respective areas across our underwriting platforms in Bermuda, London, and Paris – ensuring we continue to offer a responsive, coordinated, and consistent offering to our brokers and clients.”
