Ethos Specialty Insurance Services, a managing general agency (MGA) and an Ascot Group company, has hired Kevin Mooney as senior vice president and head of small and medium enterprise (SME) casualty from CapSpecialty.

Mooney will report into Rory Cline, Ethos chief underwriting officer, and will focus on developing excess casualty products for SME clients. He will also work closely with Justin Meizlik, Ethos chief operating officer, on building technology-enabled underwriting platforms.
