Divisional Director Crisis Management
CurrentWe have formed the new Crisis Management division within its London Market business to include kidnap and ransom, Security Incident Response, terrorism, product recall and personal accident lines. The new structure ensures Hiscox is well positioned – working closely with its long-time strategic partner Control Risks – to meet the evolving crisis management needs of its clients, leveraging the synergies that exist between these related lines of business. Headed up by myself Crisis Management division brings together Hiscox teams in London, Guernsey and Miami, which were formerly part of Hiscox Special Risks. Charlie Hanbury – Head of Crisis Management Rest of World – will run the London K&R team and global Security Incident Response team; Liz Prior – Managing Director Guernsey – will manage the Guernsey K&R team; and, Napo Montes-Amaya – Head of Crisis Management Miami – will be responsible for K&R & Hiscox MGA from Miami. Kevin Henry (the current CUO of Hiscox Special Risks) will become the Global Product Head for K&R. Rich Halstead, David Burke and Jason Innes remain as line underwriters for terrorism, product recall and personal accident respectively. The change better reflects the distribution-led, geographic approach adopted by the wider Hiscox Group to serve clients which means that US and European K&R business will now sit within the Hiscox USA and Hiscox Europe businesses respectively. “Crisis management has been a core part of Hiscox’s DNA for many years and it makes good sense to bring our market leading expertise across K&R, terrorism, Security Incident Response, product recall and personal accident into one division, supported by our partner Control Risks.
