Renewable energy underwriter GCube has announced that Jake Rowland, former Advisory Representative at Marsh, along with James Mulligan, former Insurance Broker at Aon Risk Solutions, and Tim Rolland, former Casualty Underwriting Assistant at Chubb, have joined the company.
These new hires come as the business formalises its transition from managing general agent (MGA) to an underwriting division under new owner Tokio Marine HCC.
This transition has been further supported through former Binder Executive Ian Mitchell’s appointment as Underwriter.
Rowland joins the U.S. team, strengthening GCube’s North American offering across on- and offshore wind, solar, and energy storage insurance. His research and risk analysis skills will bolster the GCube team in his new position as Underwriting Assistant.
In London, Mulligan joins as an Underwriter, bringing with him experience from Aon Risk Solutions, where he held the position of Insurance Broker. Working on both the onshore and offshore side of the renewables spectrum, he brings with him six years of experience in the industry.
Rolland has also joined GCube’s London team as an Assistant Underwriter, holding experience in Casualty underwriting and exposure management roles at various organisations including Chubb, AmTrust Financial Services and Markel.
Mulligan and Rolland are accompanied by Ian Mitchell, whose move to the Underwriting team at GCube comes after two years in the role of Binder Executive, where he was responsible for the day-to-day running of the various binding authorities with direct access to GCube’s capacity providers.
To his new role, he will bring over 30 years of experience in the London market at large broking houses including Guy Carpenter, JLT Group, and Willis Towers Watson, holding senior positions specialised in construction and engineering risks.
Fraser McLachlan, GCube Insurance CEO, said: “We’re thrilled to have Jake, James and Tim join our team, as well as to see Ian transition into the underwriting side of the business as we complete our first full year as an underwriting division under our new ownership. We are always looking for high calibre people with a passion for renewables to join our firm.
“Each brings varied experience to GCube, helping us to continue building our specialist knowledge to the benefit of asset owners in the global renewables market and to stay at the forefront of evolving risks and sustainable insurance practices.”
