Global program manager Accredited Insurance has appointed Neil McConachie as Chief Risk and Capital Officer.
McConachie is an experienced insurance executive, having previously served as Group CFO of Fidelis Insurance and Group President of Lancashire, where he also held CFO and CRO roles.
Set to join Accredited on 14 October officially, McConachie will be based in the firm’s London office and report to CEO William Spiegel.
Spiegel commented on the appointment, “I have had the pleasure of working with Neil at Montpelier Re, Lancashire and Fidelis.
“His track record as a leader in growing insurance companies means he will bring valuable experience to Accredited as we continue our strategy to be the independent global program partner of choice.
“Neil has spent much of his career in underwriting-first businesses, and his expertise is a strong fit for Accredited given our focus on rigorous underwriting standards and risk management.”
McConachie himself added, “I’m proud to be joining the best program manager in the market and once again working with William, who I’ve known for over 20 years. I’m excited to help bring enhanced sophistication to risk management and capital optimisation across the Accredited group.
“I have been impressed by Accredited’s success in building a well-diversified insurance portfolio, and its partner MGAs’ strong performance has attracted a blue-chip reinsurance panel.
“I believe Accredited is well-positioned for success with an experienced management team, strong operational platform, robust capital base, supportive long-term ownership, and the ability to work with partners across the US, UK and Europe. I’m looking forward to getting started.”
Neil’s appointment continues the strengthening of Accredited’s global executive team and follows the appointment of Stuart McMurdo who will join Accredited on 1 October as President of Accredited UK & Europe.
