Robin Saul has been appointed deputy managing director and legal counsel at Arch Insurance (Bermuda).

Arch also made three managerial promotions within its underwriting teams.

The company said Ms Saul is now responsible for supporting Matthew Smith, managing director of Arch Insurance (Bermuda), in the management of all aspects of the company’s direct insurance operations.

She joined Arch in 2019 as head of Claims and legal counsel, and will retain her current responsibilities in addition to her expanded new role.

Prior to joining Arch, Ms Saul was head of Casualty Claims at XL Insurance Bermuda.

In addition, Juliette Oatley-Baia and Roger Moniz have been named Executive Assurance underwriting managers – and Scott Dunstan has been named Casualty underwriting manager following the retirement of Michael Costello, who had led the division since 2012.

In these roles, the company said, Ms Oatley-Baia, Mr Moniz and Mr Dunstan will be responsible for managing all underwriting activities and overseeing the growth of their respective business lines.

All four appointees will report to Mr Smith, who said: “Arch Insurance (Bermuda) has exceptional talent throughout our team as evidenced by these promotions.

“Robin will play a central role in our efforts to continue growing the business and further enhance our overall market proposition, while Juliette, Roger and Scott, will ensure we continue to deliver best-in-class solutions and high-quality service to our brokers and clients.

“I would also like to express our huge gratitude to Michael for his incredible dedication to the success of the Casualty division over the last 12 years. We wish him all the very best in his retirement.”
