ANV hires Catlin and XL execs

ANV Holdings has strengthened its team of underwriters with two new hires in the professional lines division of ANV Syndicate 1861.

Tracy Ambrose has been hired as lead underwriter for professional indemnity and Ritchie Last as senior underwriter, financial institutions.

Ambrose joined the team after working as a class underwriter in professional indemnity at Catlin, where she spent the last ten years. A specialist in professional indemnity, she has held senior underwriting and brokerage positions at Chubb, Sun Alliance and Sedgwick.

Last is responsible for expanding ANV’s financial institutions market presence with a focus on asset and fund managers. He has held senior positions at Marsh FINPRO, Paragon and HSBC and more recently moved to underwriting at XL Insurance Company.

“Personally for me and also for ANV as a firm, professional lines are part of our DNA,” said Matthew Fairfield, founder and chief executive officer of ANV. “Professional lines is part of our heritage in the company. In addition to their support in the growth of our business directly within the Lloyd’s market, our proficiency in and commitment to these lines is a foundation for growth across our US and European  MGU operations for the larger ANV group.”

Richard Green, head of professional lines underwriting at ANV Syndicate 1861, added: “Both Tracy and Ritchie bring key skills, unique perspectives and some new strategic relationships to enhance our professional lines offering. Through their respective contributions to our team, we envisage a wide selection of opportunities, not only to expand our business, but also to address a wider variety of more complex and interrelated risks.”
