Fidelis bolsters underwriting unit with promotion

Bermuda-based  Fidelis Insurance has bolstered its underwriting department with a promotion, giving more responsibility to its group head of contract wordings.

Louise Jarvis (pictured) has been given the position of deputy director of underwriting in addition to her current role of group head of contract wordings.

Jarvis joined Fidelis in 2017 as senior wordings specialist and was promoted to group head of contract wordings in 2019 where she is responsible for overseeing all risk related contracts. In her role as deputy director of underwriting, Jarvis will support the group director of underwriting to ensure underwriting excellence through capture and use of data, superior systems, process and reporting.

Charles Mathias, group director of underwriting, said: “Louise has done a great job in building a contract wordings team that really adds value to our underwriting process.  We’re delighted that she will now bring her rigour and common sense to bear on a wider range of issues as we continue to build market-leading underwriting processes and systems.”
