Brit Ltd, the global specialty re/insurer, has announced the appointment of Michael Gould as its new Chief Operating Officer (COO).
Gould has more than 35 years’ experience in senior operational roles, and joins Brit from Lloyd’s syndicate Talbot Underwriting, where he also served as COO, and was responsible for improving responsiveness and efficiency across the business through operational change.
He was also instrumental in driving the Lloyd’s Target Operating Model (TOM) modernisation initiative, where he spearheaded the Structured Data Capture project.
Prior to Talbot, Gould served as Group COO at Hiscox for six years, before which he also held a number of senior positions at Aon and American Express.
Matthew Wilson, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Brit, said: “We are delighted to welcome Michael to Brit’s Executive Committee as he takes up the role of COO. He brings unrivalled experience, both of the Lloyd’s market and in transforming and leading best-in-class operational functions.
“Brit aspires to be at the forefront of innovation in our industry, by embracing the rapid changes in technology and business process, to drive meaningful competitive advantage. Michael’s track-record of execution and transformation therefore make him a natural fit.
“I look forward to working with Michael as he leads the operations team to support the business as we continue to grow and execute on our strategic objectives.”
