Hiscox, the specialist global insurer, has promoted Ross Nottingham to Chair of North America for its Hiscox Re & ILS division, effective September 1.
Nottingham joined Hiscox Re & ILS in 2012, having spent the previous 12 years as a broker – including seven years at Aon Benfield where he worked in the non-marine retrocession team in both London and Bermuda.
“Ross’ valuable market insight and eye for innovation are exactly what we need to continue the success of our North American book,” said Mike Krefta, Hiscox Re & ILS Chief Executive Officer.
“He has a very strong track record of success at Hiscox Re & ILS and I’m delighted he is stepping into the role.”
The new London-based role will see Nottingham lead Hiscox Re’s North American underwriting team and strategy, whilst reporting to Megan McConnell, Director of Underwriting operations in London.
