Castel lures Mitsui Sumitomo exec

Castel Underwriting Agencies, the managing general agent (MGA) formation platform, has appointed Vanessa Powell as its first claims manager.

Powell joins the firm from Mitsui Sumitomo Insurance Group where she served as aviation claims manager.

In the new role, Powell will be responsible for the management and delivery of claims services across Castel’s existing and new cells, including altitude risk partners (ARP), its aerospace cell. She will also join Castel’s executive committee.

Mark Birrell, chief executive officer of Castel, said: “Vanessa’s appointment is another important step in our development.

“Her extensive experience in aviation claims will obviously benefit the growth of ARP, and her addition to the Castel team further increases the level of expertise and capabilities available through our platform to our growing number of cells.”
