Victor Insurance hires deputy active underwriter from Pioneer

Managing general underwriter (MGU) Victor Insurance has appointed Erik Johnson as deputy active underwriter for Victor Syndicate 2288, based in London.

Johnson has over 18 years of experience in insurance, working on both the brokerage and carrier sides of the industry. He joins Victor from Pioneer Underwriting, where he was head of syndicate management and involved in the initial set-up of Pioneer’s syndicate. He has also worked at Allied World, Marsh in Canada, and Deloitte UK, before joining Lloyd’s as strategy manager. Johnson was a founding member of Inclusion@Lloyds when it launched in 2013.

Johnson will report to Jill Frances, chief underwriting and operations officer, and active underwriter for the Lloyd’s syndicate.

Frances said: “Erik’s strong background in strategic development, together with his extensive experience in the European market and at Lloyd’s, are a great match for Syndicate 2288’s growth and expansion plans. His active participation in creating greater D&I in the insurance industry will also be a tremendous asset to both the syndicate and Victor as a whole.”

Johnson commented: “Victor’s customer-first philosophy, rich global history, and ambitious vision for building on Syndicate 2288’s international strengths make this an exciting time to join the business. It’s a unique opportunity to help shape the syndicate early on in its development.”
