Specialist insurance intermediary New Dawn Risk has strengthened its senior team with the appointment of Nicky Stokes as head of management liability and financial institutions.

Stokes joins New Dawn from Liberty Specialty Markets in Dubai where she was AVP, professional indemnity with additional responsibility for the D&O, Bankers Blanket Bond and Cyber portfolio for local and international clients throughout the Middle East and Africa.

With more than 20 years’ experience in the insurance industry, she was previously based in South Africa where she held senior roles at companies including Marsh and AIG.

Nicky’s breadth of international experience in both underwriting and broking will help us to deliver an even more compelling proposition to our clients, wherever they operate.”
