Catherine will report to Sam Yates, who joined Neon recently to lead the expansion and growth of its London Property D&F book.

Catherine was previously at Sirius International Insurance, where she helped to establish a new Property D&F book of open market and delegated business in addition to underwriting primary and excess of loss business for a global client base.

Prior to her role at Sirius, Catherine held Property D&F underwriting roles at Montpelier Re and worked for the International Property team at Willis.

This is the latest in a series of hires over the last 12 months across London and Bermuda to establish Neon’s Property Insurance offering, led by Chris Fisher. This consists of Property D&F written by Dwayne Hunt and Kevin Stokes in Bermuda and Sam Yates and Holly Collins in London, and Property Binders written by Jonathan Powell in London.

Chris Fisher, Head of Property Insurance at Neon, commented:

“I am delighted to announce the continued expansion of our Property D&F team with the appointment of Catherine Sethi in London. We have identified property insurance as an important growth area for Neon and this is the latest evidence of our intentions to further build our London Property D&F book.

“Catherine’s appointment, which follows the key hires of Jonathan Powell, Sam Yates and Holly Collins in February, demonstrates our continued commitment to creating a client-centric platform built around strong talent. Catherine will be an integral part of our London Property D&F team, working alongside our Bermuda-based open market D&F business, which continues to gain momentum following its launch last year.”
