Bermuda-based underwriter of specialty insurance and reinsurance Argo Group International Holdings has appointed Tom McCartney as group head of ceded reinsurance, based in Chicago.
McCartney replaces Katie Partington Howarth who previously served in the role and is leaving the company to join Axis Re.

Tim Carter, executive vice president, chief underwriting officer of Argo, said: “Tom has been closely involved in shaping Argo’s reinsurance strategy. His strong technical skills and relationships in the market make him ideally suited for this important role. We look forward to working with Tom as we look to build on our past success.
“We would also like to thank Katie for her contributions and wish her the best in the future.”
