Fidelis Insurance has promoted Kayley Stewart to co-deputy chief underwriting officer and head of crisis management with its London Fidelis Underwriting Limited (FUL) team, while Michael Davern is made co-deputy FUL CUO and head of D&F and Energy. Matthew Bellamy has also been promoted to head of FUL property reinsurance.

Stewart has been with Fidelis for two years, joining in 2019 to develop Fidelis’s terror and political violence business. Before that, she was a senior underwriter for Liberty Specialty Markets. Bellamy joined at the same time from Acappella Syndicate 2014, where he was head of property treaty and deputy active underwriter.

Davern only joined as a senior underwriter in March 2020, from AXA XL, where he was an underwriting manager.

Richard Coulson, chief executive officer of insurance and chief underwriting officer of Fidelis Underwriting Limited, said: “I am delighted to confirm Kayley and Michael’s appointment to co-deputy FUL CUO, which reflects their outstanding contribution to profitably growing their areas of the business in what continues to be a transformational period for Fidelis, and will help Fidelis to continue to respond to our client’s needs and to out-perform expectations.”

Richard Holden, chief executive officer of reinsurance and chief underwriting officer of Bermuda, said: “Matt has been instrumental in constructing our London reinsurance portfolio, which initially focused on North American property cat but has more recently expanded into other reinsurance lines and territories. Matt’s promotion is a reflection of his role in the Fidelis global reinsurance team as we look to continue to provide solutions to our clients and brokers in an evolving marketplace.”
