London-based MGA appoints new PI managing director

Amiga Specialty has appointed David Filtness as managing director for professional indemnity (PI).

In his new role, Filtness will lead the development of Amiga’s PI proposition, further strengthening the specialist MGA’s financial lines offering following its launch earlier this year. 

He took up his new position on 19 December 2025.

Filtness said: “After 25 years in the PI market across broking, insurers and MGAs, Amiga stood out as a genuinely compelling opportunity.

”It offers the chance to build a PI proposition that works for brokers, capacity providers and clients alike. Amiga’s approach aligns closely with how I believe PI should be traded. Relationship led, consistent, responsive and grounded in disciplined underwriting.”

Experience

Filtness joins Amiga from Chubb UK and Ireland, where he was head of PI.

Prior to that, he held senior PI underwriting roles at Arch Insurance and specialised in PI across positions at Towergate Underwriting, Gallagher and Aon.

Adam Kembrooke, founder and managing director at Amiga, said: “PI is a core pillar of our strategy, so we are delighted to welcome Filtness to Amiga. His depth of experience and standing in the PI market are exceptional. Filtness brings a rare combination of technical underwriting expertise, commercial acumen and trusted broker and insurer relationships.

”He will play a critical role in building a high-quality, sustainable PI portfolio as we continue to execute our growth plans.”
