Jevon Williams, of Chubb Bermuda, has been appointed co-chair of the ABIR Policy Committee, alongside continuing co-chair Gemma Carreiro, general counsel of Hamilton Insurance Group. Williams replaces Edward Mishambi, who has relocated to the London offices of RenaissanceRe, where he serves as senior vice president and chief risk officer of Europe.
Appointed as deputy chair of the Policy Committee is Jim Paugh of Arch Re. Paugh replaces Tim Peckett, who has moved into a part-time role as special counsel to Arch Re.
The Policy Committee reviews insurance regulation in Bermuda and overseas, international regulatory standards, public policy in Bermuda, and US natural disaster policy and regulation.
Bill Wharton, head of Argo Insurance Bermuda has been appointed as the new chair of the DEI Committee. He succeeds Catherine Duffy of AIG and will continue to build on ABIR’s commitment to address diversity, equity and inclusion issues and opportunities.
Suzanne Williams-Charles, ABIR’s director of policy and regulation, corporate secretary, and data privacy officer, staffs both the Policy and DEI committees.
John Huff, president and CEO of ABIR, said: “ABIR is pleased to announce these appointments, which reflect the deep bench of executive talent we have on-island among our member companies. Bermuda is fortunate that these leaders commit to working together with ABIR to advance the public policy, advocacy and education interests of Bermuda’s leading re/insurers, a group that covers the world’s largest and most complex risks.”
