The carrier has appointed John Winder, Victoria Harding, Wendy Kriz and Maurice Rose to its risk function team.

The unit still faced £272mn in nat-cat losses and a £58mn Covid-19 impact during the period.

Head of property John Roberts-West and senior commercial property underwriter Katie Hunter have both left the business, with Hunter set to join Beazley at the end of the month.

Gupta initially assumed the position in July 2021 on an interim basis.

The former MS Amlin head of reinsurance takes up the CUO role next week.

Both underwriters used to be colleagues in the marine hull team at RSA prior to Stuart Forsyth’s departure.

The executive will join the business in early January, replacing Mike Cain.

Chairman Robin Adam will step into the role of interim CEO until Matt Pasterfield joins the firm.

Based in Zurich, Jörg Bruniecki will take up his new role in 2022, reporting to MS Amlin AG CUO Charles Goldie.

Amir Sethu joins from Lendurance, a boutique ESG-focused commercial lender he co-founded in Singapore.

Neil Williams, who spent more than eight years at Lloyd’s, will join the carrier in January.
