XL Catlin is establishing a private clients team with a new business line providing a range of specially tailored insurance coverages for high net worth (“HNW”) and ultra-high net worth (“UHNW”) individuals.
Leading the team will be Simon Mobey, who will begin employment with XL Catlin as its global head of private clients insurance on January 1, 2017. Mr. Mobey is joining XL Catlin from Chubb Insurance. He has over 30 years' experience in the insurance industry and most recently held the position of international private clients manager.
Also on the team are Ann Owen, who has been appointed chief underwriting officer for private clients insurance, and Chris Hawkes, who has been appointed private clients claims manager.
Ms. Owen joins XL Catlin from AIG, most recently holding the position of head of personal property and private client group for EMEA. She has over 20 years' experience in the industry.
Mr. Hawkes also joins XL Catlin from AIG and brings with him almost 20 years' experience in personal lines and experience providing claims service for HNW individuals.
Neil Robertson, XL Catlin's chief executive of global specialty insurance, said, “Given our strong underwriting expertise in a broad range of specialty coverages, including fine art, jewelry, equine, kidnap and ransom, general aviation, yachts, and accident and health products, we believe we are well positioned to provide a meaningful and differentiated offering which truly serves HNW and UHNW individuals.”
Mr. Robertson added, “HNW and UHNW individuals expect the highest levels of service, and I believe Simon, Ann, and Chris, who are recognized by the market to be leaders in their field, have exactly the right credentials to develop and deliver an extremely relevant suite of products and services for this growing market sector. I look forward to seeing them launch this new offer to the market next year.”
