Atrium Underwriting, the managing agent for Lloyd’s Syndicate 609, has appointed Michael Cusition (pictured above) as marine underwriter, reporting to David Sankey, head of marine.

Before joining Atrium, Cusition was an underwriter of marine and energy liabilities at Munich Re. Prior to that, he was an assistant underwriter for four years at XL Catlin, where he started his underwriting career.

“Michael has spent the last nine years building a reputation as a quality underwriter, making him a valuable asset to Atrium’s team, and I look forward to working with him closely as we continue to drive profitable expansion across our marine business,” Sankey said.

“Atrium is seen as one of the best places to work in the market, both from a top-tier syndicate performance perspective as well as the inclusive culture within the business,” Cusition said. “I am delighted to be part of the team and look forward to contributing to Atrium’s profitable growth.”
