MS Amlin has appointed Sarah Wilson (pictured above) as head of outwards reinsurance, effective immediately. She will report to Martin Burke, chief underwriting officer at the Lloyd's global reinsurer.
Wilson previously served as co-lead of the outwards reinsurance function. In her new role, she will oversee the strategic direction and day-to-day leadership of the department.
Her responsibilities include the design and placement of MS Amlin's reinsurance programs, portfolio optimization, and counterparty engagement across the group's global platforms. She will work with underwriting teams in London, Dubai, and Singapore to align the reinsurance strategy with the company's risk appetite, capital objectives, and profitability targets.
Wilson joined MS Amlin in 2022 as outwards reinsurance department manager. She brings more than two decades of experience in the market.
Prior to joining MS Amlin, she spent 20 years at Tokio Marine Kiln, where she advanced to reinsurance inwards treaty departmental manager in 2017.
The appointment follows the January 1 renewals, which saw record levels of capital from both traditional and alternative sources continue to exceed incremental buyer demand.

Wilson said the market is navigating geopolitical volatility and structural change. "Disciplined reinsurance strategy, strong partnerships, and a clear focus on risk are more important than ever," she said.
Burke said Wilson has played a central role in building the outwards reinsurance team.
"As the market moves on from the January 1 renewals, experienced leaders who understand both the technical and people dimensions of reinsurance are critical, and Sarah is exceptionally well placed to lead the function into 2026," he said.
Wilson's promotion also comes amid broader leadership changes at MS Amlin. The company appointed Christiern Dart as its incoming CEO, with his tenure beginning in January 2026 following regulatory approval.
Dart, who previously served as group chief underwriting officer at Brit, takes over from Andrew Carrier, who led MS Amlin for three years. Under Carrier's leadership, the company reported its best financial performance in over a decade in 2023 and sustained results through 2024.
