Dual appoints senior Latin America exec

Dual, the underwriting arm of the Hyperion Insurance Group, has appointed Amanda Hayes as managing director of Latin America and Caribbean business development.

She will report to Dual’s global chief underwriting officer, Talbir Bains.

Hayes moves across from RK Harrison where she was divisional director of its reinsurance broking team.

Prior to that, she held a number of senior roles with Aon including five years with Aon Re Latin America based in Miami.

Shane Doyle, Dual chief executive office (CEO), said: “Latin America and the Caribbean are important territories for Dual. I’m delighted Amanda is joining us to add depth to our Caribbean and Latin American team and to drive our business in this region.

“Our property proposition there will also be enhanced with a wide range of products including professional lines, marine and general liability.”

Bains added: “This appointment is great news for Dual. We already have a strong presence in the Caribbean property market so expanding our product portfolio is a logical next step. Our Latin America distribution network is keen to access Dual’s innovative range of products.”
