Lloyd’s specialty insurer appoints new deputy head of digital underwriting

Atrium has promoted Adam Payne as its new deputy head of digital underwriting.

With 12 years of experience in underwriting roles at Atrium, Payne will help develop and rollout Atrium’s digital underwriting capabilities in his new role.

He will do this by working closely with Simon Lewis, head of digital underwriting.

Lewis said: “Payne’s focus on collaboration and his drive and commitment to finding new solutions for customer problems will be key in keeping Atrium at the forefront of digital underwriting.

“I am looking forward to working alongside someone of Payne’s experience and calibre to build on our success.”

Enhancing capabilities

The move comes following Atrium building its digital underwriting capabilities through Atrium Innovate, which leverages internal expertise to develop new products.

Peter Laidlaw, active underwriter at Syndicate 609, said: “Atrium has dedicated many years to understanding the complex landscape of digital underwriting.

“This knowledge and experience put us in a unique position to develop new products and enhance operational efficiency and service excellence, which is core to our business goals and ambitions.

”I’m excited to see what the digital underwriting team can accomplish in the coming years alongside our valued trading partners.”
