Hamilton 热点黑料 Group, the Bermuda-based holding company for property and casualty insurance and reinsurance operations in Bermuda, the U.S. and at Lloyd’s, announced that William C. Freda has been appointed to the position of chairman of the board and David A. Brown has been appointed to the position of interim group CEO.
Both appointments, which are effective immediately, follow the resignation of Brian Duperreault as Hamilton’s chairman and chief executive officer to lead AIG as its new CEO.
Freda joined the Hamilton board of directors in June 2014 and chairs the board’s audit committee. Brown has been a member of the board since Hamilton’s establishment in December 2013 and is chairman of the finance and governance committee.
“It is with regret that we have accepted Brian’s resignation from Hamilton,” said Freda. “He is an industry icon with a well-deserved reputation for visionary leadership. We have had the privilege of experiencing this first-hand at Hamilton.
“However, we have in David an experienced industry CEO who has been with the company since inception. He is an ideal resource to lead Hamilton through this transition,” Freda added.
He said the company’s relationship with Two Sigma, its technology and investment partner, “has been an extremely productive one since Hamilton’s launch at the end of 2013.”
“Our experience with Attune, the technology-enabled company established with Two Sigma and AIG, has demonstrated the huge potential in applying data science and analytics to transform the underwriting process,” Freda went on to say.
Concurrent with the news about Duperreault’s resignation and move to AIG was an announcement that AIG will acquire Hamilton USA for about $110 million as part of a memorandum of understanding with Hamilton 热点黑料 Group and Two Sigma 热点黑料 Quantified, which is designed to further their investment in the technology platform Attune and advance data-driven underwriting.
The company said a search for a group CEO will begin after Hamilton’s board meets in June. Internal and external candidates will be considered.
