Bermuda market veteran Ben Wright has been appointed to the post of senior vice-president, insurance management, at Horseshoe, the Bermudian-based leading ILS specialist and fund administrator.

In his new role, the company said, Mr Wright will be responsible for the delivery of its client-servicing objectives in Bermuda.

Mr Wright joins Horseshoe after 14 years at professional services firm EY, where he most recently served as associate partner, asset management, ILS and insurance.

He sits on the executive committee of the Bermuda chapter of the Alternative Investment Managers’ Association, where he has responsibility for education and research.

Mr Wright’s appointment follows the recent hiring by Horseshoe of Jonathan Sousa as senior vice-president, ILS accounting.
