Berkshire Hathaway Specialty Insurance (BHSI) has expanded its US property underwriting line and has appointed a former AIG exec to head it.
Paul Kelley joins the company to lead the new area of business as head energy and technical property.
He was most recently senior vice president, property executive, at AIG Property Casualty. Prior to this, Kelley held a variety of increasingly responsible energy-focused positions at the insurer in the US and London.
Kelly has also served as vice president at Willis Energy, where he specialised in US-based multinational oil and petrochemical risks for nearly a decade.
"Paul brings exceptional expertise to this important property niche. Under his leadership, BHSI will now bring to market creative solutions for a wide range of energy and technical risks, including oil and gas, mining, chemical exposures, pharmaceuticals and bio tech, high tech electronics and heavy manufacturing," said Sanjay Godhwani, head of property, BHSI.
