MAXIS Global Benefits Network (MAXIS GBN) has appointed Nicola Fordham as chief solutions officer, transitioning from her previous role as chief underwriting officer to lead a new function within the company.
She will oversee the evolution and development of MAXIS GBN’s offering, including insurance solutions and global programmes, to ensure they continue to address new challenges in the market and fit the needs of its multinational clients.
Fordham has more than 20 years of experience as a pricing underwriter, and joined MAXIS GBN in 2017 as director of underwriting. She was promoted to chief underwriting officer in 2021, leading a team of pricing underwriters who work closely with its network of local insurers, EU underwriting hub and multinational clients.
With this move, MAXIS GBN will be appointing a new chief underwriting officer.
Fordham says: “I’m excited to be taking on this new role and helping to future-proof the business and ensure continued success for MAXIS, our network and our multinational clients.
“We want to be ready to take on any challenges the market presents now and in the coming years and, in this new role, I will be able to ensure that we’re well-positioned to do so.”
Mattieu Rouot, CEO of MAXIS GBN, adds: “[Fordham] has been instrumental in growing and developing our underwriting team and its capabilities and I have no doubt she is the right person to develop and grow this new team.
“With the creation of this new function, I’m confident that we’ll be able to continue servicing our multinational clients to a high standard and helping them find the right solution for their business and their people.”
