Beazley bolsters US marine underwriting team with Berkley hire

Specialist insurer Beazley has bolstered its US marine team with the hiring of Chris Hill as an underwriter.

Based in New York, Hill will underwrite a US-wide book of marine hull and liability risks.

He joins Beazley from Berkley Offshore Underwriting Managers where he spent more than seven years, most recently as vice president in the marine underwriting team. Hill previously held underwriting roles at Starr Insurance Companies and The Hartford and was an account executive at Gallagher.

Hill will join John Moy and Reese Lever within the marine underwriting team and report to Steve Vivian, who launched Beazley’s US marine business in 2017.

Vivian said: “I’m very pleased to welcome Chris to our team. Chris is highly respected in the marine insurance industry and brings a wealth of underwriting and market experience that will help us to realise our ambitions of steady and consistent growth. We are well positioned to harness current market opportunities and to continue developing long-term partnerships with brokers and clients.”
