Lawton-Bryce has 17 years of expertise within the insurance coverage business, having held roles throughout operations, change and IT. She joined Markel in August 2021 as wholesale operations director.
Prior to becoming a member of Markel, she was head of pricing for the ERS Motor Syndicate for 2 years, working with the actuarial and IT groups. Prior to that, she spent six years as head of change and IT at CNA Hardy, the place she led a number of strategic initiatives, together with the combination of the Hardy Managing Agency into the broader CNA Group.
She started her profession at Lloyd’s within the worldwide operations crew, the place she helped set up Lloyd’s China and develop different platforms throughout Asia.
“We have seen substantial expansion at the international level over the past few years, and with this comes greater complexity, but also opportunities that we can harness,” Wilson mentioned. “As we develop and scale, making the suitable investments in our processes, knowledge and expertise can be an important consider attaining our aim of being the main world specialty insurer. As the worldwide COO, Carys will lead our drive in the direction of operational excellence.
“In her relatively short time at Markel, Carys has proved herself to be invaluable. I look forward to seeing what she can achieve next, with her expanded remit and in her well-deserved place on the ExCo, to which she will bring a fresh and innovative perspective and a skill set that enhances and complements its existing make-up.”
