Lloyd’s global head of distribution leaves to join new insurtech

Uwe Schoberth (pictured), most recently global head of distribution at Lloyd’s, has joined a US-based insurtech to help build its market relationships and expand its offering to small and medium-sized companies.

Joyn Insurance, a newly formed Delaware-domiciled, licensed producer and general agent, underwrites commercial insurance in the small and middle markets. The insurtech began offering excess and surplus (E&S) property coverage on July 1, and will offer E&S general liability coverage starting September 1.

Schoberth joins the company as chief distribution officer, effective September 1. His role will focus on developing deep and trusted broker relationships while partnering across Joyn’s team of experts in insurance, data, and technology.

Schoberth has an expansive background in commercial insurance, having held many global, international, and domestic market-facing roles developing and overseeing business development strategies. Most recently, he was the global head of distribution at Lloyd’s and has held distribution roles at Blackboard Insurance, QBE Group, XL Group, Winterthur International Insurance Company, and Gerling.

“Adding Uwe, his expertise, and his network of valued relationships will immediately enhance our ability to deliver a new standard to brokers,” said Seraina Macia, CEO of Joyn Insurance. “On top of that, his energy for building a business from scratch makes him even more of an asset. We are delighted to welcome Uwe to the team and, having worked together in the past, I have no doubt he will feel at home with us at Joyn.”
