Rokstone, Aventum Group’s international (re)insurance MGA, has appointed Mike Nukk as Head of Marine.
Nukk is an experienced Marine professional with a storied career that includes a two-decade tenure at Liberty, where he served as SVP Global Marine Practice Leader and Marine Chief Underwriting Officer.
Based in the US, he also spent seven of his twenty years with Liberty working in London as VP Marine, EMEA at Liberty Special Markets.
Now, Nukk joins Rokstone after serving his notice with AIG, where he was Head of Marine for North America for almost five years.
According to Rokstone, Nukk will grow the Marine portfolio in North America “from a start up to USD 100m in five years, focusing on middle market North American business.”
James Potter, CEO of Rokstone, commented, “We’re very excited to have Mike on board. There is a glaring need for expertise and superior transactional execution in the middle market Marine space.
“It is an area of the market that’s been seen as cumbersome and overlooked by carriers – a ‘white spot’ that has immense potential for a nimble and efficient MGA like Rokstone. Together with Mike’s expertise and supported by A-rated capacity, we’ll dominate this space in the market.
“Mike is one of the most experienced and knowledgeable Marine underwriters in the world and we’re delighted to be working with him to explore and grow this exciting opportunity.”
In related news, earlier this month, Rokstone appointed Jordan Lanford as Head of Aviation, who was also previously at AIG.
