MS Amlin CFO leaves company after 18 years; successor revealed

UK-based Specialty re/insurer MS Amlin has announced that chief finance and operations officer Richard Hextall will be leaving the company at the end of September.

He will be succeeded in the role of CFO by Chris Rash who Hextall hired as a successor in 2016.

Piyush Patel will continue in his role as COO, and will now report to Charles Philipps, CEO.

Hextall joined MS Amlin in 1999 as group finance director, and became group finance and operations director in 2012. He was a director of the Lloyd’s Market Association from 2007 to 2010 and was a member of its Finance Committee from 2002 to 2009.

Philipps commented: "Richard has made a major contribution to MS Amlin over a long period. He was a key player in helping build the Group to what it is today as well as being a highly-regarded CFO in the listed insurance sector.

"We have been extremely fortunate to have had his dedicated contribution for so many years and he has our sincerest thanks for all he has done. We wish him every success in the future."

MS Amlin is part of the global top-10 insurance group MS&AD with operations in the Lloyd’s, UK, Continental European and Bermudian markets.
