Mike Mulray, ex-Everest and GE executive, takes president role at Hamilton Select; Daniel Tague becomes CUO. The appointments signal growth for the E&S carrier.
Hamilton Insurance Group appointed Mike Mulray president of Hamilton Select and Daniel Tague chief underwriting officer of the domestic excess-and-surplus lines carrier, the company said Tuesday.
Hamilton Select writes U.S. wholesale-only business placed through brokers. Mulray, who joined Hamilton in October 2025, reports to CEO Anita Kuchma and will oversee expansion of product lines and risk appetite. Before Hamilton he spent nine years at Everest, where his roles included president of North America Insurance, COO and CUO. Earlier he held enterprise risk management positions at General Electric Company and started his career at Aon in Bermuda and the U.S.
Tague reports to Mulray. He will lead underwriting and drive portfolio optimisation as the platform scales. He joined Hamilton in August 2023 as senior vice president of excess casualty and most recently led all casualty businesses for the carrier. His prior stops include N2G Worldwide Insurance, Travelers, Hiscox and W. R. Berkley.
Kuchma said in a statement that Mulray has demonstrated "strong leadership, strategic insight and a deep commitment to our clients, partners and team" since joining. She described Tague's underwriting acumen and track record as fitting "exceptionally well to lead our underwriting function as we continue to expand Hamilton Select's capabilities and presence in the E&S market."
The appointments fill two senior roles on a platform that Hamilton has been scaling since launching Hamilton Select several years ago. E&S carriers write risks that standard admitted markets decline; the segment has drawn capacity and talent as pricing in commercial lines has firmed. Both executives bring experience from large insurers where they managed multi-line books and distribution networks.
Mulray's background at GE and Everest ties to two stocks tracked by AlphaScala: GE holds an Alpha Score of 72 (moderate) and EG scores 59 (moderate), both in industrials and financial services respectively. His move signals Hamilton Select's push for a broader underwriting footprint.
