Landmark lands ex-JLT/Lockton, Liberty leader to develop D&O lines

UK-based specialist managing general agent (MGA)  Landmark has hired a former JLT and  Lockton leader to build out its directors and officers (D&O) line of business as part of its expansion strategy in the market.

Stefan Cole (Pictured) has joined Landmark as head of D&O with immediate effect.

Cole has over 14 years of experience within insurance, starting his career at HSBC, followed by Lockton. He then moved into financial lines at JLT, working within financial institutions, before moving into underwriting at Liberty and subsequently Barents Re writing a range of management liability and financial institution risks. He has spent the last four years working within reinsurance including setting up an MGA two years ago.

Landmark managing director David Ratledge said: "Stefan brings a drive and enthusiasm to Landmark that fits with our culture, with vast knowledge in his field of expertise he will take our D&O team forward at an exciting time for our MGA".

Cole commented: "After spending time with Landmark's senior management team and hearing about their expansion plans I decided to join Landmark to develop the D&O and FI brand across their portfolio. I look forward to building upon both existing and new broker relationships with Landmark's strong brand".
