Skuld key executive steps down

Claes Lindh has decided to step down after more than 10 years at marine insurance provider Skuld.

Lindh is a member of Skuld’s executive management team and a well-known figure in the industry. He will step down formally on Jan. 1, 2018 but will continue in a part-time role for two years as a senior adviser to Skuld’s executive management.

In his new role, Lindh will continue assisting the executive management with special tasks and assignments.

Lindh will also retain his position on the Central Union of Marine Underwriters (Cefor) board until the next Cefor annual general meeting in April 2018, and he will keep his position at Skuld Bermuda as a member of the underwriting committee.

Ståle Hansen, Skuld president and CEO, said: "I want to say a big thank you to Claes for his invaluable contribution to Skuld’s successful developments over the past 10 years. His partial retirement is a good solution for continuous support from Claes where we can use his experience and knowledge in the continuing development of Skuld as a world leading marine insurance provider.

"It’s been a true pleasure to have Claes as a colleague in the executive management during this period and with his vast experience in marine insurance he has been a mentor for many of us. I am truly grateful that Claes is willing to continue to share his knowledge for a few more years. We wish him all the best when entering a new phase of his career in Skuld."
