HDI Global Specialty UK appoints new claims director

HDI Global Specialty UK has appointed a new claims director with over 15 years’ insurance market experience, having worked previously at The Hartford and Navigators.

Kirsten Westly (pictured) will take over the role from Clare Constable who will leave HDI in November. She will report to Rafael Rebitzky, managing director and CUO of HDI Global Specialty UK with effect from November 1.

Westly joined HDI two years ago and currently heads up the specialty lines insurer’s financial and professional lines claims team.

Rebitzky said: “Since joining HDI, Kirsten has provided strong leadership to the Financial and Professional Lines claims team. She has built a very capable team that has provided excellent claims handling service to our broker partners.

“I have no doubt she will continue the strong focus on claims handling excellence that has become embedded within the team. I would like to thank Clare for all her work and wish her every success in the future.”
