JLT Specialty launches crisis management team
JLT Specialty has expanded its capabilities with the creation of a crisis management team.
The team will be led by Paul Bassett with the team joining the division following JLT’s acquisition of Towers Watson’s reinsurance brokerage business.
In addition to the Towers team, JLT has recruited Steven Dalchow to support Bassett with a focus on the political violence/terrorism business, as well as lead the division’s portfolio management practice.
Kelly Crouch will continue to lead the political violence/terrorism business. Corina Monaghan will lead CPS broking activities for North America, while Justin Priestley heads up the dedicated consultancy team.
Within the consultancy team, Chris Holt will be responsible for security analysis and consulting activity and the team also includes security and engineering specialist Stephen Hudson.
Nick Robson, Head of JLT CPS, said: “The creation of the new crisis management team will significantly bolster our credentials in this space and we are excited by the influx of such experienced risk practitioners joining our division. The appointment of senior figures such as Paul Bassett and Justin Priestley will enable the business to build its crisis management and consultancy practices, complementing JLT CPS' existing specialist broking expertise and enhancing its overall offering."
