Argenta plucks IQUW exec to build out property portfolio

Argenta Syndicate Management (ASML) has hired a senior property underwriter from IQUW to build out its direct and facultative (D&F) open-market business.

Hannah Wyatt joins the business as direct and facultative property underwriter, US & International. Based in London, Wyatt will take up her role later this year and will report to James Blackwell, head of property. She will be responsible for growing Argenta’s direct and facultative open-market property (D&F) business.

Wyatt has underwritten property at several Lloyd’s syndicates for more than a decade. She joins Argenta from the property and specialty re/insurer, IQUW, where she held the position of senior property underwriter.

“We are pleased to welcome Hannah to the team as we continue to invest in our property book,” said Blackwell. “D&F is an area where market conditions are creating a strong demand for proactive and talented participants. Hannah’s extensive market knowledge will be a major asset as we continue to expand our open-market business in 2023 and beyond.”
