Strategic Risk Solutions has appointed Jan Bachmann as chief underwriting officer of SRS Altitude effective 1 April.
The company announced the launch of managing general underwriter Altitude in November, to be led by former Swiss Re executive Loredana Mazzoleni Neglén.
Bachmann will oversee Altitude’s underwriting portfolio and will be responsible for structural solution design.
“Joining this innovative company marks a thrilling chapter in my professional journey,” said Bachmann.
“I’m also excited to be part of Strategic Risk Solutions which I have known for many years for its forward-thinking approach.
“Together, we’ll navigate new horizons, foster creativity, collaboration, and a shared commitment to excellence in alternative risk transfer solutions.”
Bachmann brings more than 20 years of experience to his new role and most recently worked at Swiss Re.
He has held various technical and leadership positions across underwriting, natural catastrophe modelling and alternative risk transfer.
“With his extensive knowledge and expertise, I am confident that his addition to the team will greatly contribute to the success of the company,” said Ron Sulisz, president of SRS.
In January, Thomas Keist joined SRS Altitude as chief commercial officer, with the confirmation of Keist following the appointment of Paul Fitzgerald as chief operating officer.
Strategic Risk Solutions also acquired captive and insurance manager Robus from the Ardonagh Group in January, further strengthening its presence in Guernsey and adding Gibraltar to its list of domicile options.
