’We are excited to have her knowledge and expertise as we continue our expansion,’ says chief executive
London-based Brace Underwriting has appointed Hayley Johnston to its board as an independent non-executive director.
Johnston, who brings more than 30 years of experience to the firm, is currently the chief executive at Lancashire Insurance Company in Bermuda.
Before this, she was the chief underwriting officer at Lancashire’s UK arm.
Prior to Lancashire, she worked at Axis Specialty Europe, where she was the underwriting and outwards reinsurance manager.
Brace Underwriting said appointing Johnston would help the firm expand in the US and continue to grow across the UK and Europe.
Adam Holberry, group chief executive at Brace, said: “Johnston is a respected figure in our market and has demonstrated excellent underwriting skills through positive results at Lancashire.
“We are excited to have her knowledge and expertise as we continue our expansion in the US and further cement our position as a leading delegated authority underwriter in Lloyd’s and Europe.”
