HDI forges ahead with planned expansion; hires from Generali

Specialty lines insurer  HDI Global Specialty SE has entered the private medical insurance (PMI) market with the hire of an experienced underwriter from  Generali. The move is a part of its longer-term growth plan designed to diversify the company's portfolio by product, geographical scope, production and distribution.

Ben Haden has joined the company with over 20 years’ A&H experience, including various underwriting roles at AXA, Collinson Group and most recently Generali Global Health, where he was responsible for the Italian insurer’s global IPMI portfolio.

The move extends HDI Global Specialty’s accident & health presence, and includes international PMI.  The new PMI and IPMI cover will be available across the spectrum of insureds, from individuals through to multinational corporations, placed via brokers or directly with agents.

Kieran Morrin, A&H underwriting manager of HDI Global Specialty SE, said: “ HDI Global Specialty is on a path of significant controlled growth, and our Accident & Health line is a key part of this. Ben has an excellent reputation in the IPMI market and his appointment is another step of our planned expansion.”

Haden added: “I’m pleased to be joining HDI Global Specialty’s A&H team, especially at a time when it’s looking to grow its footprint in the market.”
