The Hartford poaches international financial lines head from Generali
Property/casualty insurer The Hartford has tapped Generali’s financial lines leader to help build a sustainable and profitable book of international retail and wholesale FI business, as well as drive long-term growth for the company’s global specialty sector.
The company has hired Keith Mather as head of financial lines for its international business. Based in London, he will report to The Hartford’s international CUO Colin Sprott.
Mather most recently served as UK head of financial lines for Generali, where he provided portfolio balance and risk reductions across multiple industries and geographies.
Earlier in his career, he was European head of financial lines for Liberty Specialty Market, responsible for portfolio diversification, product growth and talent development across 11 offices in Europe and the Middle East.
Carl Bach, The Hartford’s international CEO, said: “ The Hartford’s international Global Specialty business remains a top destination for talent. We will continue to grow our team by adding specialized underwriters who know the insurance industry and understand the unique risks of conducting business globally.
“Keith brings decades of experience in international financial lines with a keen intellect in portfolio risk management and product development having supported diverse multinational organizations in Europe, Middle East and Australia.”
