There is a new chief operating officer at Brit Ltd.

Michael Gould takes on the role after making the switch from Lloyd’s syndicate Talbot Underwriting where he had held the same position since 2015. Having led the operational change of the business in an effort to boost responsiveness and efficiency, it is now hoped he will be able to drive similar momentum at Brit.

“We are delighted to welcome Michael to Brit’s Executive Committee as he takes up the role of COO. He brings unrivalled experience, both of the Lloyd’s market and in transforming and leading best-in-class operational functions,” said Matthew Wilson, Brit’s CEO.

“Brit aspires to be at the forefront of innovation in our industry, by embracing the rapid changes in technology and business process, to drive meaningful competitive advantage. Michael’s track-record of execution and transformation therefore make him a natural fit. I look forward to working with Michael as he leads the operations team to support the business as we continue to grow and execute on our strategic objectives.”

In addition to his time at Talbot, Gould was group COO at Hiscox for six years and has held senior positions at the likes of American Express and Aon over a 35-year career.
