Specialty re/insurer Canopius has appointed Rebecca Marsden as credit and political risk underwriter.

Marsden will join Canopius later this year from AXA Africa Specialty Risks, where she is currently political risk and credit underwriter. She has experience across broking, underwriting, as well as debt and equity capital markets sales and trading.

Bernie de Haldevang, head of specialty, said: “We’ve been investing heavily in underwriting capability recently to boost our firepower across the credit, political and crisis division and Rebecca will be a great boost to that development. She brings some impressive experience and great specialist knowledge of insurance and banking, with a particular understanding of the risks our clients face. I look forward to her joining the team.”
