Thomas Miller Specialty on hunt for new CUO as Hellman steps down

The chief underwriting officer (CUO) for Thomas Miller Specialty (TMS) is stepping down to focus on expansion in the company's offshore business.

TMS is currently in the process of recruiting a new CUO with Bernt Hellman (pictured) transitioning away from his CUO duties to focus on growth of the offshore business.

Hellman joined TMS in 2016 and helped grow the business’ insurance solutions to the marine industry and other sectors. TMS has recently expanded its offshore team into renewable energy products.

Helge Volger, P&I underwriting director for Thomas Miller Specialty with over 15 years’ experience as in the marine market, will head the marine P&I underwriting operations in the interim to ease the leadership transition.

Danielle Champion, CEO of Thomas Miller Specialty, said: “I want to thank Bernt for his work as CUO in TMS over the last three years and steering the growth and development across our underwriting businesses during this time and I look forward to announcing his successor in due course.”
