HIVE Underwriters, an independent specialty managing general agent (MGA), has announced the appointment of George Stylli as Chief Technology Officer (CTO).
Stylli brings nearly two decades of London Market technology leadership to the role, having most recently served as Head of Engineering at Inigo, a global multi-line specialty insurance and reinsurance company.
Prior to that he was Head of Business Solutions at Atrium Underwriters, following his tenure as IT Systems Manager at the company.
Throughout his career, he has led the delivery of complex, scalable platforms, modernised underwriting workflows, and driven technology-enabled transformation across multiple specialty insurance classes.
Stylli’s appointment marks an important step in HIVE’s investment in top talent, advanced digital infrastructure, and knowledge-led underwriting, the company stated.
Crispin Marsland-Roberts, COO of HIVE Underwriters, said: “Appointing a Chief Technology Officer is a clear signal of where HIVE is headed as we continue to scale and expand across our specialty classes. George brings deep London Market experience and a strong track record of building high-performing technology teams.
“As we grow, we’re investing in technology and data that genuinely support underwriting performance and make it easier to do business. George’s leadership will be central to how we evolve our use of data, automation and market connectivity, and we’re excited about what comes next.”
HIVE’s proprietary platforms include:
- HIVE Hub: A class-agnostic specialty underwriting platform for efficient, scalable operations and integration with market platforms.
- HIVE Mind: A centralized data and analytics platform providing consistent management information.
- HIVE Sentinel: A live asset-tracking and exposure-management platform for aviation, enabling real-time aircraft monitoring and data-rich risk insights.
Stylli commented: “HIVE is at a really exciting stage in its growth, having built strong momentum in its core classes and recently expanded into areas such as space insurance. What attracted me to the business is the clear intent to put technology, data, and intelligent automation at the heart of underwriting and exposure management, while working seamlessly within the wider London Market ecosystem.
“I’m excited to help build an agent-first platform that integrates cleanly with market systems, uses AI and advanced analytics to enable faster, smarter risk selection, and supports HIVE’s continued, responsible growth.”
