Specialty insurer Beazley has appointed Desiree Khoury as a specialty treaty underwriter within its product solutions team, which provides customised turnkey products to insurance company partners.

Khoury joins from NAS Insurance, where her most recent role was managing a nationwide sales team as head of sales & business development.

Khoury underwrites a wide range of specialty risks including cyber, employment practices and environmental liability, as well as Beazley’s workplace violence cover that was launched in 2018.

She will have a particular focus on developing new business opportunities and is based in Beazley’s Los Angeles office, reporting to Paul Henderson, Beazley product solutions focus group leader.

Jo McCann, head of specialty treaty, said: “I am very pleased to welcome Desiree to our team. She brings a wealth of experience in sales, marketing, customer relations and business development within the specialist insurance and reinsurance space.
