MGA chief executive and ex-Aviva leader retires

USQ Risk’s UK chief executive David Hall has retired.

Hall, who has led the MGA’s UK operations since 2021, stepped down from his role at the MGA at the end of 2024.

He is retiring after spending three decades working in the insurance industry.

His career has seen him hold senior leadership roles with a range of insurers. For example, before USQ Risk, he was the managing director of retail at QBE Europe.

Hall also worked at Aviva as its managing director of corporate risks and specialty lines. At Allianz, meanwhile, he held the title of director of market management and communications.

Hall said: “I’ve dedicated my career to understanding the complex world of insurance and have enjoyed the opportunity to not only work with the best in the business, but to make a difference in how many of us tailor and transfer risk to make the uninsurable, insurable.”

New leadership

With Hall stepping down, USQ Risk’s UK chief underwriting officer Jonathan Richardson and chief operating officer Anthony Harrington-Jones will lead the UK business operations.

Hall said: “USQ Risk has proven to be a fantastic environment where I can share a lifetime of expertise and work with a team who truly understands the needs and complexities related to tailored risk solutions.

”I will cherish the fond memories I have from my time in insurance as I turn the page and move into retirement.”
