Ms Lanham previously worked at Suncorp, where she was responsible for a significant portfolio of surety clients from the construction and engineering sectors.

She has more than 13 years’ experience issuing bond facilities, leading underwriting teams and developing new business.

The appointment follows the creation of Ace’s surety practice group last November, focusing on domestic and multinational companies in the Asia-Pacific region.
