Former Guy Carpenter veteran ‘impressed by IQUW’ makes comeback

Industry executive and  Guy Carpenter’s former CEO of global specialties has taken up the position of president at property and specialty re/insurer IQUW shortly after retiring from Marsh McLennan’s broking business after nearly 26 years.

Kevin Fisher (pictured) has been “very impressed by IQUW’s market entry”. Reporting to Peter Bilsby, IQUW Group CEO, Fisher will bring re/insurance strategic client management leadership to accelerate its profitable growth trajectory.

Fisher has over 40 years broking experience, most recently as chairman of UK and global specialities at Guy Carpenter.

He will join IQUW’s roster of leadership headed by Bilsby; including group CFO Richard Hextall, director of underwriting David Morris, active underwriter Steve Tebbutt and group head of reinsurance and Bermuda CEO, Stephen Young.

Bilsby commented: “This is a major coup for IQUW and we’re delighted to have persuaded Kevin to join our team. Having spent the last 18 months delivering our strategy to build a diverse multi-line portfolio, led by highly regarded underwriting and claims expertise, Kevin’s experience will be invaluable as we navigate our next growth phase and deepen our engagement with brokers.”

“I believe that Kevin’s knowledge and expertise, allied to our vision to combine data, automation and human expertise will enable us to differentiate and enhance our proposition to become a valued partner for brokers and their clients,” he added.

Fisher remarked: “I have been very impressed by IQUW’s market entry and the traction the team have achieved in a short space of time. Peter’s strategic vision to build a digitally enabled, analytical property and specialty (re)insurer is an opportunity I couldn’t miss. I’m thrilled to be joining the team to work with such a first class management and underwriting team, as we look to deepen relationships and continue to execute on IQUW’s vision together.”
