Charles Rawlins has joined fronting specialists Concert Group as senior vice president for property underwriting and programme management.
Concert was launched in 2021 to focus on captive and programme fronting and is backed by Brady Young, CEO of Strategic Risk Solutions, Wes Duesenberg, Jr., CEO of Southern Insurance Underwriters, and Christopher Collins, CEO/founder of Corinthian Re, in partnership with Century Equity Partners and WT Holdings, Inc.
Rawlins will report to chief underwriting officer Joe Alberti and be responsible for underwriting and programme oversight across various programmes, with a primary focus on growing a profitable book of property driven business.
“I’m delighted to welcome Charlie to the Concert team,” said Alberti. “His breadth and depth of experience in the insurance industry, both in the US market and at Lloyd’s, will be invaluable as we continue to develop a diversified portfolio at Concert.
“Having had responsibility for a wide variety of lines of business, both as a broker and as an underwriter, I have no doubt that Charlie will play an integral role in achieving our goal of establishing Concert as a best-in-class hybrid fronting carrier.”
Rawlins was previously co-founder and CEO at Lloyd’s underwriting consortia Brace and has almost 20 years of industry experience as a broker at Willis with responsibility for US property and in underwriting roles at ACE Global Markets (now Chubb).
