Arch names former Lloyds exec David Maher as CIO

Arch Insurance International, part of Bermuda-headquartered Arch Capital, has appointed financial technology veteran David Maher (pictured) as chief information officer to oversee IT strategy and infrastructure.

Maher previously held senior roles at Lloyds Banking Group and Merrill Lynch. Maher scales the ladder to chief information officer (CIO) just a year after joining as international head of delivery. 

Prior to joining Arch, he served as general insurance head of engineering at Lloyds Banking Group and brings over 25 years of experience in the financial sector. He has also held senior digital and technology leadership roles at Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Direct Line Group, WTW, and UBS.

Based in London, Maher reports to Ketan Motwani, chief operating officer of Arch Insurance International, and Prashant Nema, deputy chief operating officer of parent company, Arch Capital Group, headquartered in Bermuda.

Motwani said: “David’s promotion to CIO is very well deserved. He brings a strong background in technology architecture and a proven ability to bridge the gap between business and technology. His expertise will be pivotal in further enhancing our technology environment to support Arch’s strategic goals and deliver tangible, lasting business value.”

Nema added: “David has already played a key role in supporting the ongoing advancement of Arch’s IT ecosystem. His strategic mindset is invaluable in fostering an agile and scalable environment to drive our business forward.”
