Matthew Crane (pictured), who was chief executive of Amwins Global Risks until last year, is now back at work as CEO of PIB Group’s Q Underwriting.
In September 2021, Amwins Global Risks (formerly THB Group) appointed Nate Mathis as interim chief executive before he subsequently took on the top post permanently. At the time, the wholesale broker made no mention of Crane’s departure, and it also did not respond to queries by Insurance Business.
Now, following months of garden leave – which, according to Crane, began in January – the QBE alumnus has resurfaced with this update on LinkedIn: “I’m happy to share that I’m starting a new position as CEO at Q Underwriting, a division of PIB Group.”
Neither PIB nor Q has issued an announcement as of this writing. Bernard Mageean, who remains listed on PIB’s website as the chief executive for Q, has also updated his LinkedIn profile to show that his time at the helm ended last month.
Q was formed in 2019 as a single regulated entity unifying specialist brands Thistle Underwriting, TFP Schemes, and aQmen Underwriting.
