Hiscox, Liberty, Lockton, SiriusPoint in Insurance Moves

Chris Hill joined 1 Answer Insurance as a board consultant, bringing five decades of experience in the sector. He previously held senior leadership roles at Direct Line, Octagon Insurance, Sun Alliance and Highway Insurance, and served as a non-executive director at Service Insurance Company, Premier Insurance and Extracover Insurance.

The appointment was one of several personnel moves in the insurance industry during the week of June 29 to July 3. Hiscox, Liberty Mutual, Lockton, SiriusPoint and HSB also reported changes.

Hiscox named a new head of cyber underwriting for its London market division, according to an internal memo. The hire comes as the insurer expands its cyber book amid rising demand for standalone coverage.

Liberty Mutual promoted a senior vice president to lead its North American specialty lines unit. The executive, a 15-year veteran of the company, will oversee underwriting for property and casualty risks in the region.
