Hamilton Re elevates Dwayne Hunt to head of property

Bermuda-based specialty reinsurer Hamilton Insurance Group has promoted senior vice president Dwayne Hunt to head of property, succeeding the current leader who is preparing to step down.

Hunt steps into the role, bolstered by 30 years of insurance experience. He joined Hamilton five years ago from Neon where he held a similar role as senior vice president, property insurance.

Prior to that, Hunt held senior underwriting roles in property insurance at ACE (now Chubb) and Arch. He began his insurance career as a broker with Johnson and Higgins before joining XL (now Axa XL) where he got his start in underwriting.

Hunt succeeds Gavin Davis who will be leaving the organisation.

Adrian Daws, chief executive officer at Hamilton Re, said: “This is a well-deserved and well-earned appointment. Dwayne has consistently delivered profitable underwriting results, built strong broker relationships and is highly regarded by his colleagues.

“His promotion reflects our nimble structure and collaborative culture, which enable us to draw on internal succession and drive sustained growth. We are fortunate to have such notable industry expertise leading our talented team in this important line of business.

“Gavin joined Hamilton 10 years ago and played a pivotal role in diversifying Hamilton Re’s portfolio to include the property direct and facultative insurance practice, while also building a strong team. We are grateful for his contributions and wish him every success in his next chapter.”
