Flood Re has appointed Harriet Boughton as its general counsel.
In her new role, Boughton will be responsible for overseeing the organisation’s legal and compliance framework and embedding best practice corporate governance across the organisation.
She will report directly to chief executive Brendan McCafferty
Previously, Boughton worked at ProSight Specialty Insurance, where she created its in-house legal function and as head of legal and compliance, was central to its regulatory authorisation.
McCafferty commented: “The role of general counsel is vital and I’m delighted that we now completed the executive team. Boughton’s invaluable experience will be of great benefit to Flood Re in the run-up to launch in April 2016 and beyond.”
In addition, Karen Clautour has also joined Flood Re as head of operations, reporting to Aidan Kerr. She joins from Pen Underwriting, where she was responsible for underwriting operations and conduct and regulatory risk.
As well as ensuring Flood Re’s target operating model is ready for launch in April, Clautour will focus on ensuring an effective partnership is maintained with all outsourced service providers and support the delivery of ongoing efficiencies for the business.
