Andrew will commence his new role in October and will continue to be based in London.
Following Andrew’s appointment, Chris Lee has been promoted to Chief Operating Officer for Hiscox Re & ILS and will join the Hiscox Re & ILS Executive.

Chris will also commence his new role in October and will continue to be based in Bermuda.
Mike Krefta commented: “As Hiscox Re & ILS continues to evolve in response to the opportunities ahead, it’s fantastic that we can draw on the experience of Andrew and Chris. It’s always rewarding when we can find ideal candidates within our own talent pool and I look forward to seeing what they will bring to their roles and how they will continue to drive the business forward.”
