Global specialty re/insurer Argo Group International Holdings, has appointed Bill Wharton Head of Argo Insurance Bermuda.
The appointment is effective immediately and follows former leader Nigel Mortimer’s move to a new role heading up the company’s International Casualty business from its London office.
Mortimer reports to Steve Eccles, International Chief Underwriting Officer.
Wharton, who will also continue as Head of Professional Lines in Bermuda, will be reporting to Head of International Matt Harris.
“We have a strong international platform with a deep bench of high-performing leaders,” said Harris.
“This latest change leverages Bill and Nigel’s respective areas of expertise and proven records of success to continue to profitably grow the business.”
Wharton brings with him over 20 years’ industry experience, having first joined Argo in 2015 as an Underwriting Manager.
Previously, he was Head of Financial Lines, Asia at Catlin. Before that, he served as Chief Underwriting Officer for XL Group’s professional lines, underwriting activities outside the U.S. and Bermuda.
