About Erin

I am a Senior Underwriter in the Alternative Risk team. My job involves selecting the best coverholders to underwrite on our behalf for a broad range of product classes, particularly new and emerging areas.

I have been at Hiscox for fourteen years which covers my whole insurance career! I started on the graduate scheme as a Trainee Pricing Actuary within London Market. After four years, I wanted to broaden my experience so I moved to the Capital team, where I became the Group Capital Manager. After three years there, I had the opportunity to do a one-year secondment as the CFO for Special Risks, which was a maternity cover. At the end of that, I came back to London Market as the Head of Pricing for the Casualty division. Recently, I was keen to get some exposure to underwriting so at the beginning of this year, I did a six-month secondment with Property Binders and then moved to my current role at the beginning of July.

I am a Fellow of the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries and I currently volunteer for their Claims Inflation Working Party. I also previously led the Women at Hiscox employee network.
