Three Holdings has appointed Ghazal Hamid (pictured) as chief underwriting officer.

As part of the appointment, Hamid will serve as CUO for Three Holdings’ units South Western Group (SWG), MedThree, and Optisure. His responsibilities include directing the national underwriting strategy of Three Holdings across all of its product lines, focusing on profitability, growth, and efficiencies.

Hamid joined SWG in 2003. He has since helped in implementing comprehensive underwriting strategies, streamlining distribution function, as well as structuring collaboration and improving experience across multiple business lines.

Three Holdings is comprised of SWG, MedThree, and Optisure insurance companies. South Western Group was acquired by Three Holdings in 2018, after Canadian Broker Network sold the business. The SWG team continues to be led by John Barclay, who currently also serves as president and CEO of Three Holdings.
