Alex Haynes is responsible for underwriting SLE’s hospitality portfolio, said to be one of the largest portfolios of rural and regional pubs in Australia. Haynes works with brokers to tailor sustainable risk management and transfer solutions for their clients and has recently been branching out into underwriting of the Pacific Underwriting industrial and commercial property accounts. It’s taken Haynes only three years to progress from an intern to a driving force of the property underwriting team. He’s described as being “at the forefront of a new generation of underwriters who understand and utilise the value of risk and claims data to drive decision-making in underwriting a property portfolio”. It’s his aim to progress through the industry to a managerial role, either in the agency space or a large international insurer. Demonstrating a strong dedication to his work and a willingness to assume additional responsibilities, one senior colleague describes Haynes as “well placed to become one of the next generation of leaders in the insurance industry in Australia”.
