Hamilton USA, the New Jersey-based insurance operations of Hamilton Insurance Group, announced that Rich Koehler has joined the company as President, Middle Market & Programs.

Mr. Koehler will report to Chief Executive Officer Conan Ward and will be based in Princeton.

“Rich is the right person for the job of developing our middle market and program book of business. While he was at Guy Carpenter, Rich was instrumental in establishing our business plan. His broad experience, as a broker, insurer, and reinsurer, gives him the perspective we’re looking for as we examine ways to shift the insurance paradigm.”

“Conan’s creative and innovative focus, and his passion to make a difference in the insurance sector, made the decision to join Hamilton USA an easy one,” said Mr. Koehler. “Add President of Small Commercial Ed Pulkstenis’ depth of industry experience and Executive Vice President Business Development Barbara Bufkin’s global network of relationships and success in executing global strategies, and I’m honored to join this dynamic, young company. I look forward to contributing to its growth and development.”

Rich Koehler brings 20 years’ experience in the insurance and reinsurance industries to his new position, most recently at Guy Carpenter where he was Managing Director.
