Three leading insurance-linked firms have announced key leadership changes.
Specialist insurance provider CFC has named Dan Keeler (pictured above, left) as its new head of digital underwriting, a role designed to support the continued expansion of its technology-led trading model.
Keeler will lead development of CFC’s API partner strategy and oversee Connect, the firm’s proprietary one-question quoting platform, which now accounts for nearly 40% of new business enquiries.
“Dan’s rare blend of underwriting and technology expertise makes him a valuable addition to the team as we continue to enhance our digital proposition,” said deputy chief underwriting officer Timothy Boyce.
Liberty Mutual Surety is expanding its footprint in Germany with the opening of a second office in Hamburg..
The new location adds to its established Cologne base and forms part of a broader global strategy, with operations in 10 European markets and across the Americas and Asia-Pacific.
As part of the move, the company has named Martin Wendt (pictured above, centre) as head of Surety Germany, with underwriting responsibilities extending to Austria and Switzerland. Wendt joins from Tryg Trae, where he played a key role in establishing its surety offering in Germany, and previously held senior roles at Allianz Trade.
Thomas Artmann (pictured above, right), CEO of Munich Re Syndicate Limited (MRSL), will retire effective August 30, 2026, after more than three decades with the group.
Artmann has led the Lloyd’s platform since 2015, overseeing consistent performance and underwriting profitability.
His departure marks the end of a long career with Munich Re, which he joined in 1991. The company said a successor will be announced in due course.
