Aurora grows underwriting team with two new additions

Aurora, an algorithmic commercial insurance platform, has expanded its underwriting team with the addition of Robyn Lockhart as Property Owners Lead and Chris Champion as Senior Trading Underwriter.

Robyn and Chris’s extensive experience will be a valuable asset to Aurora as the company grows and expands into the Property Owners market with new developments.

Lockhart has over a decade of underwriting experience, with a background spanning product development, underwriting strategy, and leadership.

She joined Aurora from Covéa Insurance, where she most recently led the SME Team. Before she started her close to 4 years at Covéa, she served for almost nine years at UKinsuranceNET.

Lockhart commented: “Aurora is a forward-thinking company with a clear vision for the future, and I’m excited to be part of this journey. This is a fantastic opportunity to work with a talented team, enhance our capabilities, and play a role in shaping Aurora’s continued success.”

Champion, who will be reporting to Lockhart, is also joining Aurora from Covéa, where he developed a strong track record as a Trading Underwriter, combining technical knowledge with a keen understanding of broker relationships and risk assessment.

His background in claims handling and customer service strengthens his ability to provide underwriting solutions that effectively address market needs.

Champion said: “I’m excited to be joining Aurora at such a pivotal time. The company’s approach to underwriting and innovation really aligns with my passion for delivering smart, efficient solutions that benefit both brokers and clients. With exciting new developments ahead, it’s a great time to be part of the team.”

Commenting on the appointments, Jan-Vincent Finn, Co-Founder and CEO of Aurora, stated: “We are delighted to have Robyn & Chris onboard; their appointments reflect our commitment to building an underwriting team that is not only highly skilled but also aligned with our ambition for growth and continued innovation within a product line that has to date been largely underserved and underinsured”
