Directors & Officers
Liability Insurance

Apart from some time in the British Army, I have been underwriting US and international publicly-traded companies for most of my career, with a focus on primary. I spent nine years underwriting at Hiscox before becoming Head of Directors & Officers Liability at Inigo. In my spare time I am a big fan of the outdoors – all year round. I also coach rugby and volunteer as a vaccinator for the NHS.

As an Underwriter on the Directors and Officers team, I offer board and management teams protection for claims arising from decisions and actions made within the course of their company duties. We focus on publicly-listed companies and have international appetite across a broad range of industry sectors. Outside of work, I enjoy playing tennis and planning my future adventures.

My role as Senior Underwriter in the Directors & Officers Liability team involves underwriting public company D&O for a wide range of clients – predominantly listed in the US and Australia. We focus on primary and low excess layers, and we’re open to considering all industry sectors. I have a young daughter who takes up most of my leisure time, but I also love travelling, sailing and cooking.
