Agile Underwriting has appointed Richard Hardy as Global Head of Property for Agile Syndicate 2427, the Managing General Agent (MGA) announced in a statement on LinkedIn.
Hardy joins from Argenta Underwriting Australia, where he served as Regional Underwriting Director. He brings over 35 years of experience, spanning the London and Australian insurance markets and “a deep understanding of the insurance, reinsurance and coverholder sectors,” Agile said.
Robin Barham, Group CEO and Co-Founder of Agile Insurance Group commented on Hardy’s appointment, stating, “We’re now able to support our broker partners with Property products which will soon also be available on both our Powered-By-Agile broker platform and via bespoke policies.”
Agile Underwriting added, “A strong advocate for simplicity, Richard believes insurance can be improved by making policy wordings more straightforward and accessible. Looking ahead, he envisions a future where artificial intelligence transforms the industry, enhancing efficiency and customer outcomes.”
Before his time at Argenta, Hardy held senior underwriting positions at Precision Underwriting and Pen Underwriting, and he also worked at ACE Group (now Chubb).
