Helen Wilson & Sarah Ching Join Fidelis
The Fidelis Partnership [TFP] today announced the appointments of Helen Wilson as Reinsurance Chief Underwriting Officer*, and Sarah Ching as Senior Underwriter, International Property.
A spokesperson said, “These appointments further strengthen TFP’s underwriting capability and leadership in Bermuda and support the continued growth of its footprint on the island. Over the last 18 months, TFP has significantly expanded its senior underwriting and actuarial presence in Bermuda. Notable recent appointments include Erik Manning, a 30-year veteran of the reinsurance and capital markets space who joined last year, and Greg Bowman, who recently relocated to Bermuda as Group Head of Ceded Reinsurance Analytics.
“TFP has also recently launched two Bermuda-based Pine Walk cells – Mezura Capital Partners, its capital solutions business led by Shireen Gammoh, and Adroit Underwriting, its US SME casualty reinsurance MGA led by Jeff Markowski.
“Helen Wilson brings over 20 years of experience across reinsurance underwriting, catastrophe modelling, analytics and business transformation. She joins from Hannover Re in Bermuda, where she served as Senior Underwriter. Prior to Hannover Re, Helen spent over a decade at QBE across Bermuda, Sydney and London.
“Sarah Ching brings 13 years of property treaty underwriting experience with a focus on the Asia Pacific region. She joins from MS Amlin, most recently working within the International Property Treaty team and managing a portfolio across the APAC region from the Singapore office.”
Michael Davern, UK CUO & Group Head of D&F Property and Energy at The Fidelis Partnership, commented: “The growth we’ve achieved in Bermuda over the last 18 months has been exceptional – from the launch of two new Pine Walk cells to a string of top senior hires and relocations. Helen and Sarah are the latest additions to what we believe is a market-leading team on the island. Alongside Jeff Markowski, Shireen Gammoh and Greg Bowman, who have all joined or relocated to Bermuda recently, they represent a significant strengthening of our capabilities. I have no doubt that the momentum we are building will continue to translate into strong outcomes for our clients and partners.”
Helen Wilson, Reinsurance CUO at The Fidelis Partnership, added: “TFP has built something really compelling in Bermuda – the platform, the talent and the ambition are all there. The opportunity to lead the reinsurance underwriting function at a business growing at this pace, backed by the breadth of TFP’s capacity and distribution, is extremely exciting. I am looking forward to hitting the ground running.”
