​Bishop Street Underwriters appoints new chief financial officer

Bishop Street Underwriters has appointed Karman Chan as chief financial officer.

Chan will help drive strategic decision making, anticipate financial and operational demands and build the infrastructure needed to sustain long-term growth.

In addition to overseeing finance and accounting, she will play an active role in shaping business strategy across the platform.

“In a short period of time, Bishop Street has established itself as one of the most dynamic and differentiated platforms in the MGA market,” said Chan.

“The opportunity to help develop a business with this kind of momentum, leadership and long-term vision is incredibly compelling.”

Experience

Chan brings extensive experience leading finance operations through periods of growth.

She previously spent 11 years at Galway Holdings as CFO, steering the business through more than 25 acquisitions, multiple debt raises, refinancings and recapitalisations. 

“We are at a pivotal moment in Bishop Street’s growth and we are adding to our leadership team to match our ambition,” said Chad Levine, chief executive at Bishop Street.

“Chan is exactly the kind of CFO we need at this stage — someone with the financial acumen to build scalable infrastructure and the business instincts to be a true strategic partner to our leadership team.

“She will help us make better decisions, move faster and see around corners as we continue to grow.”
