Nexus hires former Zurich chief underwriter

Torus-owned Nexus Underwriting Management has hired Andre Ford as development director. 

Ford was previously Zurich Insurance Worldwide chief underwriting officer of financial institutions and Chubb UK financial institutions manager.

Prior to that he worked at AIG.

“In addition, his wealth of FI experience will prove to be invaluable to the group as we are about to experience: even more turbulence in the economy.”
