AXIS Insurance, the specialty insurance business segment of AXIS Capital Holdings, has hired two additional underwriters within its renewable energy business.
Nicholas Boswell Brown and Claire Whelan will join in April in order to support the expansion of the company’s renewable energy business in Spain, Portugal and Latin America.
Boswell Brown joins from Aon, where he spent 10 years as a facultative reinsurance broker for Latin American Property and Power Generation risks.
Before that he was an assistant broker at Guy Carpenter and Aon Benfield in Chile.
Whelan joins from Aviva, where she spent the past four years as a renewable energy underwriter. Prior to that she worked as an engineering underwriter for Aviva and started her career as an underwriting assistant for D&O and Commercial Crime.
Richard Carroll, Global Head of Renewable Energy at AXIS commented on both appointments: “The hiring of Nick and Claire will enable us to rapidly scale up our business in Spain, Portugal and Latin America, which are some of the fastest-growing parts of the Renewable Energy market.
“Nick brings considerable experience and insights on the evolving risk mitigation needs of Renewable Energy investors, project developers and asset owners in Spain, Portugal and Latin America, and will play a key role in driving new business production for us in those markets.
“Claire’s experience both living and studying in Spain will enable us to deliver better and more informed solutions for our brokers and their clients in that region.”
