After confirming its new board appointees, Lloyd’s Europe now just needs an additional independent non-executive director to complete the line-up.
Formally known as Lloyd’s Insurance Company S.A. (LIC), the Society of Lloyd’s subsidiary in Belgium named Bruno van Lierde as the new chair of the board. The confirmed appointee, who was senior partner and managing director at Boston Consulting Group in Brussels, will also serve as chair of the nomination & remuneration committee at Lloyd’s Europe.
“I am very much looking forward to getting started in my new role, building relationships and dialogue with our key stakeholders in Europe, with government, regulators, and policymakers, as well as providing leadership and guidance to Lloyd’s Europe,” commented van Lierde.
“I have already had fruitful discussions with the Lloyd’s executive committee on the future direction for Lloyd’s Insurance Company as the launchpad for our continental European business. I would like to thank Michel Flamée for his expert leadership, and I will look to build on his excellent work.”
Flamée’s mandate as non-executive chair of Lloyd’s Europe ended earlier this year.
Meanwhile EY alumnus Nicole Verheyen is taking on the chairmanship of the audit & risk committee, of which Angela Crawford-Ingle will be a member. Also confirmed is the board appointment of current Lloyd’s Europe chief executive Amélie Breitburd.
“I am thrilled that we have bolstered our board and leadership team and will shortly be complete,” said Breitburd, who recently took over from ex-CEO Sonja Rottiers. “The incredibly high calibre of appointments and invaluable experience the team will add will only serve to augment the already successful work of LIC.”
Existing members of the Lloyd’s Europe board include general counsel Peter Spires, chief risk officer Giles Taylor, chief financial officer Jonathan May, and Lloyd’s market development head Caroline Dunn.
“Lloyd’s is wholeheartedly committed to both serving its existing partners and customers across Europe as well as offering the right products and services for this critical and highly valued series of markets,” stated Lloyd’s chief executive John Neal.
“With these appointments we have the leadership in place at Lloyd’s Europe to oversee and deliver the right solutions for the market, to strengthen our relationships with our European regulators and key partners, and ultimately to build our business in Europe.”
