Reinsurance broker and consultancy JLT Re has appointed a new partner.

Charles Withers-Clarke, partner in JLT Re, said that Deanna Williams would be a valuable addition to the firm.

He added: “I have worked with Deanna for many years and know her can-do attitude and drive will be a great fit for the team in Bermuda and of real benefit to our clients and prospects.

“Deanna will be focusing on our specialty lines working closely with myself and our team in London.

“I am sure her in-depth underwriting knowledge and experience will be invaluable.”

Ms Williams formerly worked at Chubb Tempest Re, where she was a vice-president underwriter specialising in international property catastrophe work.
