OAK Global, a specialist risk and underwriting partner, has strengthened its leadership team with two senior underwriting and risk appointments: Fraser Scott has been promoted to Director of Underwriting Planning and Performance , and John Coe has been named Chief Risk and Compliance Officer.
In his new position, Scott will oversee the coordination of business planning and performance management for OAK Global’s underwriting portfolios across Lloyd’s’ Syndicates 2843 and 1440.
To support synchronise performance across the expanding underwriting division, he will align portfolio monitoring with strategic business planning while collaborating closely with Active Underwriters.
A qualified actuary with 20 years’ experience in the London Market and Lloyd’s, Coe has joined OAK Global to spearhead the continued integration of the company’s risk ecosystem in alignment with Lloyd’s and UK regulatory expectations, while enabling disciplined growth.
In his new role, the executive will focus on governance, risk oversight, and board and regulatory engagement.
Prior to OAK Global, Coe served as Head of Enterprise Risk Management at Munich Re Specialty – Global Markets. He has also previously held senior risk management roles at organisations including Asta Capital and Tokio Marine Kiln.
Cathal Carr, Founder, CEO and Group CUO of OAK Global, said: “These appointments strengthen two closely connected areas of our business: disciplined underwriting performance and robust, forward-looking risk management.
“As OAK Global grows, it is increasingly important that we have clear enterprise-wide oversight, strong governance and the frameworks to support informed decision-making and accountability, and these new roles reflect that buildout for our business.”
