AXIS Re swipes property underwriter to focus on LatAm market

AXIS Re has hired a new property underwriter for EMEA and Latin America to underwrite a property treaty portfolio for Latin America.

Nicole Hanhart joins the Axis Re team in Zurich from Partner Re, where she spent 20 years, most recently a senior underwriter with the global catastrophe team. Her underwriting experience includes assignments in Chile, Miami and Zurich and stretches across Latin America, the Caribbean and Europe.

Hanhart reports to Gino Smith, head of property, EMEA and Latin America at AXIS Re, who highlighted her strong technical underwriting acumen and extensive client and broker network. Hanhart’s “experience and expertise will enable us to continue to develop and execute our underwriting strategy for this region which forms an integral part of our overall global property strategy,” Smith said.
