Strategic human resources executive Claire Eeles has been appointed as chief people officer and a member of the leadership team at Mosaic Insurance, the Bermudian-based specialty insurer.

She will be based in London.

“We are excited about adding Claire to Mosaic’s leadership team — it’s a strong reflection of Mosaic’s overall expansion and the importance we place on our people agenda,” said co-chief executive Mitch Blaser.

“We continually look to add high-quality talent as we move forward on our vision, and Claire’s wealth of industry expertise and deep knowledge of HR, people and culture will help inform our talent strategies and continue our global culture-building.”

The company said Ms Eeles is a human resources professional with more than 20 years’ experience in the financial services sector.

Her role at Mosaic encompasses overall strategic responsibility for Mosaic’s people, talent and culture.

Mosaic said Ms Eeles has worked in international roles for several companies, including XL Capital, Brit Insurance, WTW and AJ Gallagher.

Most recently, she was global human resources director for Gallagher Re (previously Willis Re), and, prior, HR director for people and change aspects of an operational improvement programme at WTW. She began her career as a consultant at Accenture.

Ms Eeles said: “I am absolutely delighted to be joining Mosaic — it’s an exciting company that clearly has its people and culture at the heart of what it is and does.

“I look forward to being part of this talented team to help further develop a people strategy that supports Mosaic’s business growth plans.”
