Bernie de Haldevang, head of specialty, said: “We’ve been investing heavily in underwriting capability recently to boost our firepower across the credit, political and crisis division and Rebecca will be a great boost to that development. She brings some impressive experience and great specialist knowledge of insurance and banking, with a particular understanding of the risks our clients face. I look forward to her joining the team.”
