Director of underwriting Richard Coulson has been promoted as chief underwriting officer of UK-based Fidelis Underwriting Limited (FUL) effective immediately.

Prior to his previous promotion in 2017, Coulson served as head of specialty at Fidelis Insurance from 2015. Prior to Fidelis, he worked for the likes of Marsh, Hiscox, JLT, and RK Harrison.

The new CUO was elected a fellow of both the Chartered Institute of Insurers and Chartered Institute of Risk Management more than a decade ago. Accolades under his belt include the IRM award for risk analysis excellence and an ABI young insurer of the year award.

“Rich has ably demonstrated his underwriting acumen and a talent for developing innovative products,” said FUL chief executive Daniel Burrows. “He has been integral to the success and growth of FUL’s business.”

Bermuda-based Fidelis Insurance Holdings Limited provides specialty insurance and reinsurance products globally through its wholly owned subsidiaries.
