Arch swoops on Chaucer for political violence risk expansion
Arch Insurance International has bolstered its terrorism, political violence and war underwriting capabilities with a senior hire from Chaucer.
Jalal Chtioui (pictured) has been appointed to the position of senior underwriter, terrorism, political violence and war, where he will focus on underwriting political violence risks in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA).
Chtioui will also support Arch’s ongoing expansion in the region across additional areas, including casualty lines. Based in London, he will report to Andrew Bauckham, head of terrorism, political violence and war.
Chtioui has a wealth of insurance market experience, across both underwriting and broking. He joins Arch from Chaucer MENA Underwriting, where he was regional development underwriter, and has previously held roles at Lockton and Zurich. He also has significant cross-class experience including general liability, cyber, and financial and professional lines.
Bauckham said: “Jalal is an exciting new addition to the team. He brings a wealth of experience, expertise and local knowledge, gained from nearly a decade in Dubai, to support our continued expansion in the MENA region. He will be a valuable asset to both our team and other specialty areas within Arch, as we continue to strengthen our market standing, service proposition and relevance to our brokers.”
