Brit beefs up its financial lines team with new underwriter

Brit has appointed Kirstin Simon as an underwriter in its financial lines team.

Simon joins from Liberty Special Markets (LSM) where she has spent the last 11 years, most recently serving as a senior underwriter in commercial directors’ and officers’ (D&O). She played a central role in establishing LSM in the commercial crime market.

Simon also brings broking experience to the role, having spent three years at Aon, working within the commercial D&O teams across the UK and EMEA.

In her new role Simon reports to Benedetta Del Balzo and Ben Phillips, co-heads of financial institutions at Brit. She works as part of a financial and professional lines team that includes 22 underwriters across D&O, financial institutions, healthcare liability, North American professional liability, cyber and technology and transactional liability.

Jonathan Mudd, managing director of financial and professional lines at Brit, pointed to dramatic changes in the risk landscape for D&O in recent years, noting Simon’s arrival will “enable us to provide further specialist expertise to our clients whilst supporting our position as a leading market in financial and professional lines.”
