XL Catlin has appointed Jason Grant as Regional Manager Asia-Pacific for International Financial Lines.

He will lead the underwriting team in Australia, Hong Kong and Singapore, building the financial and professional risks portfolio and market presence in the region.

Mr Grant joined XL Caitlin in 2015 as Australasia manager for international financial lines.

XL Catlin Chief Underwriting Officer for International Financial Lines Timothy Powell says the move comes as an increasingly litigious landscape and heightened regulatory pressures change how companies in the region conduct business.
