Catlin Australia has appointed Richard Johnson to the senior underwriter for Financial & Professional Risks for the Melbourne team.

Johnson is returning to the Melbourne market where he used to underwrite Financial & Professional risks for AIG after most recently completing roles as the European management liability underwriting manager for AIG Europe. Prior to that, he was the Queensland financial lines manager for AIG Australia.

“Richard brings with him a wealth of experience both in Australia and overseas, and will be a valuable contributor to our growth plans for Melbourne,” a spokesman said.
