International General Insurance Holdings Ltd. (IGI) has appointed Malcolm Barnes as the Head of Specialty Treaty, based in its London office.

In his new role, Barnes is responsible for building and managing the IGI’s specialty treaty reinsurance business, adding further depth and breadth as well as a dedicated London presence to IGI’s reinsurance team.

He has over 35 years of experience in the London market, most recently serving at Amlin Syndicate 2001, responsible for the marine treaty reinsurance team.

Before this, Barnes held senior roles in specialty reinsurance lines for other Lloyd’s syndicates.

Chris Jarvis, Chief Underwriting Officer, IGI, commented on the appointment, “We are excited to bring Malcolm on board as part of our reinsurance team.

“He comes with significant underwriting experience and will be a strong fit as IGI continues to build its treaty reinsurance portfolio. His experience and network will be an asset to IGI as we look to expand specialty treaty within our reinsurance portfolio, with particular focus on marine, energy and terror/political violence.”
