Alesco bolsters energy practice with key hires
Alesco Risk Management Services, a specialist insurance and risk management broker, has expanded its energy division with the appointment of two new partners.
Alison Schwab joins Alesco from Wortham Insurance in Houston where she held the position of director. She has more than a decade of experience in energy casualty and a knowledge of the US retail market. Prior to Wortham, Schwab was with Lockton in Houston for eight years, and spent seven years as an environmental underwriter at AIG.
In her new role, Schwab will focus primarily on Alesco’s energy casualty business, reporting to Simon Clarkson, managing partner – energy.
Mark Smith will join Alesco’s technical team from AAA Insurance & Reinsurance Brokers in February. Smith brings significant experience gained from more than two decades in insurance broking, with particular expertise in technical trading within the African and Eastern European energy markets.
Commenting on the appointments, Clarkson said: “In 2017 we had a dozen new team members join Alesco’s energy practice, with more than 100 across the wider business, so it’s great to continue that momentum in 2018 with these two equally impressive hires from the global broking world. At Alesco we take immense pride in attracting the best individuals within their specialist fields, so that we can be confident in our commitment to offer our clients expertise, knowledge and insight.”
