New Dawn Risk Group has made two new appointments.
An announcement from the company reveals that Sarah Khan has been appointed as head of professional risks, while Francesca Vernon will become head of the new Healthcare and Life Sciences team.
Max Carter, CEO of New Dawn Risk Group, said: “As we continue to expand our capabilities, with a wider product offering and broader geographic scope, Sarah and Francesca are an ideal fit for our team. They are enthusiastic and ambitious, with the depth of knowledge that is invaluable in helping our clients to navigate the on-going challenges of the market.
He added: “Healthcare and Life Sciences industries are seeing an extraordinary period of growth and transformation, and the risks faced by companies operating in the space are becoming more complex and unpredictable. The establishment of a new team dedicated to servicing the sector is a direct response to this developing need.”
Khan joins New Dawn Risk from Aon, where she was a broking director. Prior to that, she was a senior professional liability underwriter at AXA in the US.
Meanwhile, Vernon was most recently head of London market broking at Lothbury, where she established an international specialty lines offering. She has also previously held senior broking roles at Aon and Arthur J Gallagher & Co.
