March 5 - (The Insurer) - HW Kaufman Group’s London platform has recruited Kerry Hall from Liberty Specialty Markets as director, commercial.

In her new role, Kaufman said Hall will work closely with the company’s leadership to develop solutions via the Lloyd’s market that will enable the firm to better serve its North America and international clients.

Hall will also be responsible for assisting HW Kaufman Group London’s North American wholesale affiliate Burns & Wilcox in managing and optimising its delegated authority contracts.

The new hire has joined HW Kaufman London having spent the past 15 years at Liberty Mutual-owned Liberty Specialty Markets.

At Liberty Specialty Markets, Hall most recently served as head of property and casualty binders, a role in which HW Kaufman said she fostered relationships with Burns & Wilcox teams across North America.

Prior to joining Liberty Specialty Markets, Hall spent just over a year at PCM Risk Solutions.

Having joined HW Kaufman Group London, Hall will report into the unit’s CEO Paul Greensmith.

“Kerry is a seasoned professional who will be an important bridge in representing Burns & Wilcox in the London market and helping to manage these critical relationships,” said Danny Kaufman, co-president at HW Kaufman Group and president at Burns & Wilcox.

“Our North American teams have worked extensively with Kerry in her former role – we are excited to have her now at Kaufman.

“Under Kerry’s leadership, Burns & Wilcox will be well positioned to enhance our long-term partnerships at Lloyd’s and further sharpen our global broking solution,” added Kaufman.
