Hamilton Insurance Group has made two senior role changes.

Keith Bernhard, who previously worked in audit and risk management at the company, is now chief audit officer and Wendy Davis Johnson, who joined the firm in 2015, has become chief communications and culture officer.

David Brown, interim group CEO, said: “As a member of the Hamilton board since the company’s formation, I’ve had the pleasure of working with Keith and Wendy since their employment at Hamilton.

“Like the other members of Hamilton’s executive team, they’re excellent at what they do and are committed to the company’s growth and development.

“Their expanded roles were approved earlier this year but required ratification by the Board which was given during their quarterly meeting held this week.

“I look forward to working with Keith and Wendy, as well as the other members of the team, as we leverage the significant potential of our partnership with AIG and Two Sigma Insurance Quantified announced last month.”

Mr Bernhard joined Hamilton Insurance Group in 2014 with 20 years’ experience in audit and risk management.

Ms Davis Johnson joined Hamilton Insurance Group in 2015 with more than 25 years’ experience in corporate communications and brand development.

In addition to her responsibility for corporate and investor communications, Ms. Davis Johnson adds responsibility for Hamilton’s culture, its business strategy and mission, as well as its internal communications.

Ms Davis Johnson will report to Mr Brown.

Hamilton is the Bermuda-based holding company for insurance and reinsurance operations in Bermuda, the US and at Lloyd’s.
