Berkshire Hathaway Specialty Insurance (BHSI) has appointed Pedro Mairos to be its global underwriting officer for marine.
Mairos is moving from his role as head of marine for the UK and Ireland at BHSI. He joined the firm three years ago and will continue to be based in London.
According to his LinkedIn profile, he is also a member of the board of directors for the Insurance Industry Charitable Foundation UK.
Dean LaPierre, chief underwriting officer for property and marine at BHSI, said: “Our large global footprint coupled with the substantial growth of our Marine business made now the optimal time to deepen the global leadership of our marine underwriting team worldwide,” said.
“We are pleased to have such a deep bench of talent across both underwriting and claims to service our marine customers and brokers in local markets around the globe.”
Prior to joining BHSI, Mairos spent pretty much all of his career working for the various offices of AXA. He spent nearly seven-and-a-half years at AXA Corporate Solutions, where he served in a number of roles. Prior to that, he worked for AXA Insurance (Gulf) for nearly three years. That itself followed nearly eight years at the Hong Kong branch of AXA Corporate Solutions.
