IGI hires Ian Noble as head of casualty and professional lines

International General Insurance Holdings (IGI) has appointed Ian Noble as head of casualty and professional lines.

Noble replaces Chris Mauduit, who has developed and led IGI’s professional lines and casualty (general third party liability) business as a class underwriter for the past five years, and retired on June 30.

Noble has 34 years’ broking and underwriting experience in professional lines in the Lloyd’s of London and company markets. He most recently served as senior class underwriter for professional indemnity at Chaucer in London, before which he was class underwriter for professional indemnity at Brit Insurance, from 2002 to 2010. He started his career working for several broking and insurance companies.

At IGI Noble manages the casualty and professional lines, including professional indemnity, directors and officers, legal expenses and general third-party liability. All are non-US exposures. He is based in London.

IGI president Waleed Jabsheh said: “With [Noble’s] expertise, we will further develop our professional lines business, while continuing to provide first class service to our brokers and clients.”
