BHSI forms southern Europe hub in Dublin
Berkshire Hathaway Specialty Insurance Company (BHSI) has established a new office in Dublin and appointed Cormac McNamara as property and casualty manager, BHSI Ireland.
“Cormac will build our local team and lead our efforts to bring all of BHSI’s southern European underwriting capabilities to Ireland,” said Tom Bolt, president, UK and southern Europe. “We are excited to further expand our geographic footprint in the region as we steadily grow our underwriting capabilities as well.”
Mr McNamara spent the past six years at MS Amlin/Mitsui Sumitomo Insurance, where he held a variety of underwriting positions, most recently as Ireland underwriting and distribution manager. Before Mitsui Sumitomo, he was commercial insurance manager, UK region and Ireland, at Chubb Insurance Company of Europe.
BHSI recently announced the appointments of Vanessa Maxwell as head of professional indemnity and cyber insurance, and Tom Dilley as head of financial institutions in southern Europe. Both are based in BHSI’s London office. Ms Maxwell was at AIG and Mr Dilley was at ACE, now Chubb.
