MS Amlin appoints Sam Geddes as Head of Reinsurance

Lloyd’s global (re)insurer MS Amlin has appointed Sam Geddes as Head of Reinsurance, subject to regulatory approval.

On top of his new responsibilities, which include leading MS Amlin’s extensive reinsurance teams, Geddes will also retain his existing responsibility as Deputy CUO.

He will additionally join the firm’s Executive Committee.

Geddes joined MS Amlin in April 2021, and holds more than 20 years of international market experience, having spent much of his career in Hong Kong and New York.

He came to MS Amlin from Everest Global Markets, where he was Deputy Active Underwriter from 2016. Before this, he held senior roles at Kiln Syndicate 510 and MSIG Syndicate 3210.

Geddes will continue to report to Chief Underwriting Officer (CUO) Martin Burke, and takes up this new role with immediate effect.

Meanwhile, Geddes’ former role as Head of Property & Allied Lines will be filled internally by Simon Morgan, previously Head of Property Delegated Authority.

In his new role, Morgan will have oversight of the firm’s property division, which includes Commercial Property ‘D&F’, Property Binders and Auto.

Morgan joined MS Amlin in September 2022 from Hiscox, where during a 15-year tenure, latterly as Divisional Director for Property, he oversaw a portfolio of $500m. Before this, Morgan was a Property Underwriter at Kiln.

Martin Burke, MS Amlin’s aforementioned CUO, commented, “I’m delighted I’ve been able to appoint both of these roles from within our talent pool, as it says so much about the strength of our team and the rigorousness of both Sam and Simon’s original recruitment into MS Amlin.

“Sam brings such knowledge and experience in leadership to our Reinsurance division, and having had such a positive impact on our Property division, I know under his guidance the team will thrive.

“Simon’s appointment is equally positive, given his breadth of experience, sector expertise and the depth of both his broker and client relationships.

“He has established a reputation within the business as an insightful and knowledgeable leader, and will continue to build on the foundation created by Sam, over the last three years.”
