Ironshore boosts energy team with Aviva hire

Ironshore International has appointed Leslie Bomford as senior vice president of upstream energy business lines in the US.

Bomford will be responsible for underwriting first party upstream energy sector risk, based in Ironshore’s Houston office. She will report to Paul Calnan, division director, working closely with Peter Coleman in the growth and development of the global energy portfolio.

Bomford joins from Aviva Canada, where she most recently served as commercial lines manager. Previously, her industry career spanned nearly thirty years with Commonwealth Insurance Company, where she was responsible for underwriting various specialty sector lines within the oil, gas and petrochemical division.

She also served as senior vice president of marine energy and international, responsible for daily operations of offshore energy lines, including marine, upstream onshore property, offshore property, business interruption and builder’s risk.

“We welcome Leslie to our team of specialty energy underwriters, reflecting Ironshore’s ongoing commitment to strengthen the company’s worldwide energy business,” said Peter Coleman, global energy practice leader.  “Leslie’s demonstrated sector expertise and strong relationships throughout the insurance and broker communities will prove invaluable as Ironshore builds upon growth opportunities in the US energy sector.”
