Appointment of Chief Underwriting Officer

 

Helios Underwriting plc, the only publicly traded company offering instant
access to a diverse portfolio of syndicates at Lloyd's of London, is pleased
to announce the promotion of Jen Tan to Chief Underwriting Officer (CUO).

 

Jen Tan joined Helios in October 2023 and most recently served as Head of
Portfolio Strategy, with responsibility for portfolio construction and capital
allocation across Helios' Lloyd's platform. In this role, she has been
instrumental in strengthening portfolio underwriting frameworks, improving
portfolio quality, and refining Helios' risk appetite to support effective
volatility management, through a structured and data-driven approach to
portfolio management.

 

As Chief Underwriting Officer, Jen will be responsible for establishing
Helios' portfolio underwriting strategy, syndicate capacity allocation, and
ongoing portfolio management. She will work closely with the Board, executive
management, and syndicate partners to ensure consistent execution of strategy
and effective deployment of capital through the underwriting cycle.

 

Jen is an actuary by background with over 16 years of experience in insurance.
Prior to joining Helios, she was Head of Pricing for Marine, Energy and
Specialty at Hiscox, and earlier a Partner at Willis Towers Watson, advising
senior management teams on pricing, portfolio optimisation, and risk strategy.

 

Commenting on the appointment, Louis Tucker, Chief Executive Officer of Helios
Underwriting, said:

I congratulate Jen on her well-deserved promotion. Jen has played a pivotal
role in building and managing our Lloyd's portfolio in line with the Board's
risk appetite and strategic objectives. With her extensive experience and
rigorous, data-driven approach, she has demonstrated her ability to optimise
portfolio performance while maintaining strong underwriting discipline. This
promotion recognises her expertise, leadership, and the significant value she
brings to the organisation.

 

Jen Tan added:

"I am delighted to be appointed CUO at Helios. Helios is uniquely positioned
through its diversified portfolio of high-quality syndicates and portfolio-led
approach to benefit from the exceptional market conditions at Lloyd's. I have
greatly enjoyed my time at Helios and am grateful to Louis, the Board, and my
colleagues for their continued support and trust. With a remarkable team and
Board, I look forward to building on our progress to date, continuing to
deliver sustainable returns for our stakeholders."
