It’s a “transformational time” for the London market – and that’s just one of the reasons why Matthew Shaw is thrilled to take on his new role as chief underwriting officer of Tokio Marine Kiln (TMK).
“I’m hugely excited to be joining TMK, an organisation with a long history as a great underwriting company and one at the forefront of innovation in the Lloyd’s market,” he said. “This role offers a great opportunity to be part of its continued development and success.”
Shaw joins TMK from Chubb where he was most recently divisional president for global markets. He actually started out as a Lloyd’s underwriter in the 1980s and now TMK CEO Brad Irick is hoping he can capitalise on that wealth of experience in his new role.
“As insurers and reinsurers, our role in supporting people, businesses and economies as they come back on line has never been more important,” Irick said. “Following a strong year for TMK, our underwriting teams are energised by a refreshed strategy and new opportunities to further our purpose, support our clients and develop their businesses under Matthew’s leadership.”
Shaw’s role at TMK remains subject to regulatory approval.
