The cyber market will interpret Lewis’s hire as a signal IQUW is looking to grow the book proactively.
-
The carrier previously identified cargo as a target class in the business’s specialty build-out.

ERS’ recently rebranded (re)insurer IQUW has confirmed the appointment of Stephen Young as CEO for a new Bermudan division, as first revealed by this publication.
-
The executive stood down from leading Sompo International’s reinsurance business last year.
-
The rebrand follows a last-minute acquisition of the firm by Aquiline-owned Lloyd’s syndicate ERS, in December of last year.
-
Public-private partnerships such as state-backed reinsurance pools can also enable a more “proactive” approach to climate innovation, the organisation said.
-
The expansive syndicate was one of several players to join the D&O market after dramatic rate rises last year.
-
The appointment will support Syndicate 1856’s expansion into new lines, the parent said.
-
CEO Peter Bilsby says Syndicate 1856 sees significant opportunties to expand profitably into the hardening market.

The hires are the latest in an Aquiline Capital and Abry Partners-backed diversification effort.
