Specialist global insurer Hiscox has promoted Ross Nottingham to chair of North America for Hiscox Re & ILS.

Nottingham joined the Hiscox Re & ILS team in Bermuda in early 2012 as an underwriter. He was also responsible for new product development and managing broker relations for Hiscox Re. In 2014, he relocated to the UK to lead the North America team in London.

As chair of North America, Nottingham will lead Hiscox Re's North American underwriting team and strategy.

Nottingham will continue to be based in London. He will report to Megan McConnell, director of underwriting – London, who alongside Adam Szakmary, director of underwriting – Bermuda, jointly lead the underwriting strategy for Hiscox Re & ILS.

Mike Krefta, Hiscox Re & ILS CEO, commented: “Ross’s valuable market insight and eye for innovation are exactly what we need to continue the success of our North American book. He has a very strong track record of success at Hiscox Re & ILS and I’m delighted he is stepping into the role.”
