In this newly created role, Driscoll will be responsible for all aspects of CGM’s Financial Lines business across all sub-classes, including strategy, product and business development, underwriting and service operations, and overall profit and loss performance.

Driscoll will be based in London and report to Robert Wilson, Chief Underwriting Officer for CGM. The appointment is effective immediately.

“I am delighted that we have been able to promote Steve to this important role within CGM as he is ideally qualified to oversee the continued development of our broader Financial Lines business. Our PI business has benefited hugely from Steve’s oustanding leadership over many years, and I am looking forward to him achieving the same success in this broader role,” commented Wilson.

“This move, in addition to the recent appointment of Alex Jackson as product head of Management Liability, completes the restructuring of the Financial Lines team for Global Markets and makes us perfectly placed to best serve our Financial Lines clients and broker partners,” he added.
