Hiscox hires ex-Allianz leader to lead new London market ART team

Hiscox has appointed Adrees Tinkler to lead a new alternative risk transfer (ART) team within its London market business.

Tinkler will establish the ART team when he joins later this year and also support the expansion of a broad suite of (re)insurance products that sit between self-insurance and full risk transfer.

Based in London, he will report to Hiscox London market’s chief underwriting officer, Paul Lawrence.

Lawrence said: “Following the recent addition of new offerings such as financial institutions, technology errors and omissions and sexual molestation liability, Hiscox London market’s expansion into ART is a further demonstration of how we continue to broaden our appetite in response to our clients’ evolving risk landscape.”

Experience

Tinkler joins from Allianz, where he was ART senior structured underwriter with strategic oversight of the London wholesale structured (re)insurance business.

Prior to this, he spent two years at AIG as an actuarial analyst.

His appointment at Hiscox comes following increased client demand for more innovative products. ART provides clients with multiyear pricing certainty and access to specialised cover that is more closely tailored to their individual needs.

Lawrence said: “Adding an ART team to our portfolio responds to increasing client demand for innovative insurance solutions.

“Tinkler’s extensive underwriting experience supports our ambitions to become a leader in the ART space.”
