“David is an extremely well-regarded figure in the Canadian insurance market and has strong connections with the London market,” said Jon Woodrow, head of Aviation and Space for Travelers Syndicate Management. “He brings with him a real breadth of experience and his arrival greatly strengthens our aviation team.”
Watts said: “Working in the heart of the London insurance market is an exciting move for me and I’m thrilled to be joining such a well-respected organisation as Travelers.”
