Specialty international reinsurance company Chaucer has announced the appointment of Ann Blanco, class underwriter, to support development of the company’s international general liability account. In her new role, Blanco will work closely with Thomas Beasley and Rob Neil, who joined Chaucer at the end of last year.

Blanco has nearly a decade of market experience. She is also a qualified lawyer and is fluent in Spanish. Prior to joining Chaucer, she held positions at QBE and Guy Carpenter.

“I am delighted to welcome Ana to Chaucer,” said Paul Restarick, casualty and political risks manager. “Her appointment enhances our international general liability capabilities and highlights our continuing commitment to in-depth underwriting expertise and excellent client service to brokers and clients.”

“Our casualty division combines a smart, solutions-driven underwriting approach with responsive service to meet the needs of brokers and MGAs, and the recruitment of Ana is an integral part of delivering this,” said Nicola Stacey, chief underwriting officer at Chaucer.
