IGI taps Novae underwriter for energy expansion

Specialist commercial re/insurer International General Insurance Holdings (IGI) has strengthened its energy offering with the appointment of James Green as senior underwriter for downstream energy.

Green joins from Novae, where he was class underwriter for renewable energy, including power. In his previous role, he specialised in onshore and offshore construction and operational business, across the full range of technology sectors, and on a global basis. Green also previously spent eight years at JLT and seven years at XL Insurance, respectively.

At IGI, Green will focus on growing and developing a focused renewable energy and conventional power portfolio with large corporate clients or independent power providers as part of IGI’s wider downstream energy offering.

Green will be based in the London office and will report into Hassane Rhazouani, head of downstream energy and Graham Hensman, head of energy.

Hensman said: “I am delighted to welcome someone of James’ calibre to the team in London. IGI has always had a strong focus on the renewable energy and power sectors and James will help us to expand this further. He brings a wealth of technical skill in both onshore and offshore renewable energy, and utility-scale power projects, which is a great addition to the team at IGI.”
