Brit’s statement added: “We thank Christiern for his commitment and dedication to Brit and wish him all the best for the future.”

Dart had been working with Brit since 2006 and has now started his transitional period and is set to complete a regulatory handover, a report by Reinsurance News confirmed.

Following the completion of this regulatory process, Jon Sullivan, who is acting as the company’s deputy group CUO and active underwriter for Syndicate 2987, will take up the position of group CUO.

During his 17 years with Brit, Dart had undertaken different roles, starting as Brit’s underwriter before moving to serve as a property facilities divisional director in 2010.
