’She will lead a high-performing team of claims professionals, which I’m sure will continue to thrive under her leadership,’ says chief claims officer

Arch Insurance International has promoted Laura Brahams to the position of head of third party claims.

In her new role, Brahams will oversee the third-party claims function, which includes casualty, cyber, financial lines, healthcare, intangible assets and professional liability.

Based in London, she will report to predecessor Barbara Rizzi, who was recently promoted to chief claims officer.

Rizzi said: “In her new role, she will lead a high-performing team of claims professionals, which I’m sure will continue to thrive under her leadership as we remain committed to delivering a superior customer-focused experience for every claim that we manage.”

Experience

Brahams, who joined Arch in 2015 and most recently served as the financial lines claims manager, brings over 18 years of insurance experience to her new role.

Before joining Arch, she worked for several law firms, including Kennedys Law LLP, and is a qualified solicitor in England and Wales.
