Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Underwriting

The Company is seeking a Chief Executive Officer (CEO) for its Managing General Agent (MGA) business. This is a pivotal role with a focus on leading a significant transformation and growth plan. The successful candidate will be responsible for merging two recently acquired businesses, designing and implementing a new technology platform, driving organic growth, and pursuing further acquisitions. Additionally, the role involves rebalancing distribution, leading organizational and cultural change, and representing the MGA externally. The ideal candidate will have a strong entrepreneurial track record, genuine insight into underwriting and risk, and a proven ability to lead change and transformation, including M&A integration and technology-led business transformation. The CEO will report directly to the Group CEO, sit on the Group Executive, and take full P&L and operational ownership of the MGA business. This is a senior, board-level appointment, and the candidate should be a commercially-minded business leader with the gravitas and commercial acumen to build relationships at a senior level. Experience within an MGA, insurer, or composite provider is essential, with a preference for those with a background in a composite environment. The role is not for a broker masquerading as an MGA leader but for a candidate with a strong, credible, and commercial background. The position is based in London, but the Group CEO is flexible on the candidate's day-to-day location.
