Amlin poaches LatAm underwriter from SCOR
Amlin, the international insurer, has hired Lucas Castagnino, previously a senior underwriter with SCOR, as lead underwriter of its Latin America underwriting activities.
Castagnino will be based in the firm’s Miami office and will report to Louis de Segonzac, head of Latin America. He joins Amlin from SCOR’s Latin American and Caribbean platform, where he was latterly vice president.
Amlin said the move further demonstrates its long-term commitment to delivering a high standard of service to its clients across Latin America. The hire follows the appointment last year of Edward Herrara as senior underwriter at Amlin.
“Hiring someone of Lucas Castagnino's calibre is testament to the significant progress made by our Latin American operations since we launched in Miami in 2014,” said Segonzac.
“Lucas’ market knowledge and experience, especially in long tail lines, will be invaluable to the broader team as we continue to strengthen our presence in the strategically important region."
Amlin's Miami operation underwrites all non-life treaty products and provides quotations for new and renewal business. Risks are underwritten on behalf of Amlin's Lloyd's Syndicate 2001.
