Brace Underwriting Limited, the Beat Capital-backed, multi-line and alternative risk specialist underwriter, has appointed Michael Davis as Senior Underwriter.
Davis holds more than 13 years of industry experience, having previously worked as a property underwriter at Tokio Marine Kiln (TMK). He joined TMK as a graduate trainee in 2010, later being promoted to property claim adjuster in 2012 and moving to the underwriting side of the business in 2015.
In his new role at Brace, Davis will be based in London and report to Tom Sambrook, Head of Underwriting.
According to Brace, Davis, in collaboration with Sambrook, will be heavily involved in developing the firm’s underwriting strategy as well as managing client engagement and portfolio optimisation across all parts of its portfolio.
He will also reportedly use his experience in the Canadian property and casualty market to expand this portion of Brace’s portfolio.
Adam Holberry, Group CEO of Brace, commented, “Brace is heavily invested in attracting market-leading talent to elevate its underwriting strategy and Mike will be an excellent addition to the team.
“His experience in claims and underwriting, especially in the Canadian P&C market, will be invaluable as we look to build out our portfolio further and I look forward to working with him.”
Davis himself added, “Brace’s innovative approach to underwriting and ability to meet the rising market demand for tailored insurance products made joining this brilliant team a simple choice.
“I look forward to working with Adam and Tom, tapping into my previous knowledge to continue developing their underwriting approach.”
