Insurtech C-Quence hires from Chubb and AIG to grow commercial lines
C-Quence, a new insurtech managing general agent (MGA) with a commercial insurance trading and underwriting platform, has strengthened its underwriting team with senior hires from Chubb and AIG.
Michelle Noonan was previously a financial lines specialist at Chubb Insurance where she ran a centralised team of new business underwriters.
Kieran Brennan has 30 years of experience and technical expertise across the property, casualty and P&C combined lines in the UK and internationally with Chubb and AIG.
Both the executives will be based in C-Quence's new Manchester office.
C-Quence recently launched its London operations, while also unveiling its management liability product ML5 and underwriting platform C-Q Elements.
The company secured underwriting capacity from Arch Insurance Company (Europe) earlier in July 2018. It aims to become a leading digital MGA, transforming and enhancing commercial broking experiences using technology and data.
Jacqueline McNamee, CEO of C-Quence, said: “I am delighted to welcome Michelle and Kieran to the team. Their experience and expertise strengthens our development capability and improves brokers’ access to our underwriters.
“Opening the office in Manchester sends a strong message of our commitment to serving commercial lines brokers across the country and is further evidence of our ambition to transform mid-market commercial insurance provision.
“Michelle and Kieran will work closely with John McClelland in Manchester. Kieran will support the development of our Property and Casualty proposition which we plan to deliver this year.”
