Hiscox’s head of broker relations North America has joined  Beat Capital-backed Lloyd’s of London MGA Brace Underwriting to support its expansion into the US.

Glenn Dorr has been appointed as head of distribution, North America at Brace.

Based in Boston, Dorr will play an integral role in Brace’s growth, identifying strategic areas of opportunity and business development within the MGA market, while also overseeing the network of broker relationships and cultivating new partnerships.

Dorr brings more than two decades of experience to Brace and joins from Hiscox, where since 2017 he held the role of head of business development and broker relations, North America.

He brings extensive knowledge of the North American MGA market and joins Brace at an exciting phase of our development. Glenn’s ability to source and build long-term underwriting partnerships will be invaluable as we look to expand our North American footprint and his appointment is a great reflection upon Brace’s ability and commitment to attracting market leading talent in the global facilities market.”
