Liberty Specialty Markets (LSM), part of Liberty Mutual Insurance Group is pleased to announce the appointment of Henry Nelson as active underwriter, subject to regulatory approval. Nelson will be expanding his duties as chief underwriting officer (CUO), UK & MENA, and will be working in the coming weeks alongside current active underwriter Jane Warren, who is set to retire at the end of 2025.
Reporting directly to Luis Prato, president of UK & MENA, Nelson will be responsible for managing the underwriting portfolio of LSM’s Lloyd’s Syndicate 4472, continuing his broader capacity as CUO, which he was appointed to in January this year. Prior to this he had served as chief of staff, along with several other key roles over his 11 years at LSM.
Prato said: “Henry’s appointment marks an exciting next chapter for us. His leadership will be central in steering Lloyd’s Syndicate 4472 through future opportunities. As he continues in his position as CUO, he is uniquely positioned to build on our strong foundations and drive a successful service across our syndicate and underwriting teams.
“We’d also like to sincerely thank Jane Warren for her outstanding service during her six years at Liberty. She has been an influential figure in the market: an outstanding sponsor of diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives at Liberty and through her position on the Lloyd’s Council she has helped to drive cultural change in the market. She has created a robust platform as a strong technical underwriter and an inclusive workplace for Henry to propel our mission forward.”
