Patrick Davison (pictured) – who led the market’s response on COVID-19 and cyber wordings in line with the Lloyd’s mandate – has been promoted to underwriting director at the Lloyd’s Market Association (LMA).
According to the LMA, the move is part of the long-planned succession for Jane Hayes, Davison’s predecessor who will be stepping into an executive director role. Davison has served as deputy underwriting director for the past one and a half years.
“Having successfully helped lead our underwriting team through the tumultuous events of the past 18 months, Patrick has demonstrated exceptional underwriting and leadership ability, which will continue to benefit the market in his new role as underwriting director,” said LMA chief executive Sheila Cameron. “We are delighted to announce his promotion.
“I would like to thank Jane for her many outstanding contributions, particularly leadership and support of the Lloyd’s underwriting community during the pandemic, where her professionalism and depth of underwriting expertise have been invaluable to us and to the market.”
The LMA added that Hayes will continue to support the market, in particular with Lloyd’s Europe and other strategic projects.
