Hiscox makes the latest in a series of line underwriter appointments

Hiscox has promoted Lara Frankovic to the role of line underwriter for general liability, leading a general liability underwriting team of four people, focusing primarily on large US domiciled accounts.

Frankovic joined Hiscox from GenRe in March 2019. She had previously spent 15 years as a facultative reinsurance underwriter. She reports to Hiscox London Market's divisional director for casualty, Matthew Webb.

Frankovic said: "While market conditions have been challenging for some time, Hiscox has maintained a consistent underwriting approach for general liability risks. And we will continue to offer a broad appetite, backed up by skilled underwriting to meet the needs of our clients and brokers. Our philosophy is to find a way to say 'yes' to the difficult, complex risks that other markets might decline, while leading the way in new product innovation."

Webb said: "Given the long tail and complex nature of the general liability risks we underwrite, and the market challenges in areas like social inflation, we recognise the importance of delivering the long-term stability and sustainability our clients and brokers need and expect from us.”

In February Hiscox London Market appointed Emily Taylor as line underwriter for marine and energy liability and Aimee Nolan as line underwriter for cargo.
