Skuld reshuffles leadership

Marine insurer Skuld has reshuffled its leadership following the appointment of Ståle Hansen as chief executive officer.

Hansen, who will succeed Douglas Jacobsohn, has appointed Kristian Løberg as chief financial officer.

He currently serves as senior vice president, head of corporate accounts in Skuld. Løberg joined Skuld in October 2013, having previously been a senior manager at Deloitte.

Skuld has also appointed Gregory Thomas as executive vice president commercial P&I.

Thomas will assume overall responsibility for Skuld’s operations in the offshore, fixed premium, and yacht markets. He will also join Skuld’s management board.

Thomas, who joined Skuld in 2008, has been responsible for developing the insurer’s offshore portfolio.

Ståle Hansen, Skuld chief executive officer-elect, said: “I’m extremely happy that Greg has agreed to take on this new and important role on the management board. His reputation for service excellence is second to none and commercial P&I is an exciting step in this development.

“He leaves an excellent legacy in Singapore and we will ensure this continues for staff, clients and contacts. At the same time it is good to welcome him back to Norway, and I know his contribution will be immediate and valuable.”

Thomas added: “This is a very exciting opportunity to capitalise on all of the great work that Skuld has done these past years in developing its appetite for commercial P&I; the yacht portfolio and the fixed portfolio have been great additions to the Skuld range of products and the aim from our side is to be the very best provider of cover.

“We have an excellent team of people in Skuld who enjoy an outstanding reputation for service and understanding and I am sure that with their assistance and dedication Skuld can achieve all of its goals for commercial P&I growth.”
