Rokstone has announced the launch of an international casualty division.

Sam Wylie has been appointed portfolio manager of the new division. He joins from Convex where he served as class underwriter for the past five years, and has over 15 years’ specialist experience across international casualty, including roles at Tokio Marine Kiln and Marsh.

Ian Anson, global CEO of Rokstone, commented: “Our agility allows us to capitalise quickly on market opportunities, and the international casualty space provides meaningful diversification for our global portfolio. It’s a complex and competitive sector, one where only the best underwriters truly thrive. Sam brings that calibre of expertise, and we are delighted to welcome him to Rokstone.

“While the market is well-capitalised today, we know that long-term success in casualty requires more than just capacity. Brokers value strength in depth, underwriting discipline and stability through the cycle. Rokstone’s blend of specialist talent, long-term capacity partnerships and proprietary technology gives us an edge few can replicate.”
