Chaucer poaches XL Catlin exec to lead political risk team
Chaucer, the specialist Lloyd’s insurance group, has appointed Deborah Wyatt to lead the development of its new political risk solution for emerged markets.
Together with Chaucer’s emerging markets political risk team, under the leadership of Nick Kilhams, the new emerged markets team will provide Chaucer’s brokers and clients with a centre of excellence for all their political risk and trade credit requirements.
Wyatt has more than 20 years of market experience in credit underwriting. She joins Chaucer from XL Catlin, where she was head of UK political risk and trade credit. Prior to this, she has positions at AIG and Euler Hermes.
Nick Kilhams, head of political risk at Chaucer, said: “Deborah has an exceptional reputation as a credit underwriter and as a builder of first class teams, and I look forward to working with her on Chaucer’s new emerged market solution for brokers and clients.”
Wyatt, head of political risk, added: “I am excited at the prospect of building the emerged market risk business at Chaucer, alongside the existing high calibre emerging markets team. Together we will provide clients and brokers with a single destination for their political risk and trade credit requirements.”
