Insurance and reinsurance specialist Neon has announced the hiring of Chris Conway to its Bermuda Property Reinsurance underwriting team, as it looks to expand its activities in the United States market.
Conway will report to Neon’s Head of Property Reinsurance, Nick Pritchard, and joins the firm immediately.
He will be tasked with working to expand Neon’s ambitions in the U.S. property reinsurance market, producing underwriting business for Neon’s Bermuda office through U.S. brokers.
Conway was most recently a senior underwriter at Ascot Underwriting Bermuda, prior to which he worked for a diverse range of reinsurance capital platforms, with roles at AQR Re, Third Point Reinsurance and Axis Specialty.
As a result he has experience of underwriting both traditional and collateralized U.S. and international property catastrophe reinsurance, retrocession, property per risk business and insurance-linked securities (ILS).
Chris Fisher, CEO of Neon Bermuda, commented on the hire; “We are thrilled to welcome Chris to Neon Bermuda and he joins the number of high calibre appointments we’ve made since opening the office in 2016. Chris’s hire will further build on our significant progress to date and emphasises our desire to expand our US book of property business. His broad experience will prove invaluable in supporting the expansion of Neon’s underwriting platform in Bermuda as we continue to enhance and diversify our capabilities.”
