Arch Insurance International has appointed Kendra Felisky as Chairman of the Board of Directors of Arch Insurance (UK) Limited (AIUK) and Arch Management Agency Limited (AMAL) following the retirement of Patrick Storey.
Felisky is an experienced independent non-executive director and insurance professional who has served on the AIUK and AMAL boards since February 2021, bringing five years of Arch’s deep institutional knowledge to the chairman role.
Felisky, who has more than 20 years’ experience in actuarial, risk management and board governance and is described as a “seasoned” independent non-executive director and insurance professional, has served on the AIUK and AMAL boards since February 2021.
She previously served as one of the leaders of Deloitte’s general actuarial practice and as chief risk officer at Travelers.
Hugh Sturgess, CEO of Arch Insurance International, commented: “We are delighted to appoint Kendra as Chair of the AIUK and AMAL Boards.
“Her extensive knowledge of Arch, extensive leadership experience and strong technical expertise make her the ideal person to guide the Board through its next phase of growth.
“Her appointment reflects our commitment to strong, forward-thinking governance and she will play an important role in advancing our strategic objectives.
“I would also like to thank Patrick for his outstanding contribution over the past nine years. During his tenure, he has overseen significant growth and expansion of both platforms while further strengthening governance and board capabilities.
“Patrick played a key role in championing our consumer responsibility efforts and shaping our strong governance culture. We wish him a happy retirement.”
Felisky added: “I am honored to serve as Chairman of the Board during a period of continued strong growth for the AIUK and AMAL businesses.
“Arch maintains a clear strategy, strong culture and dynamic vision for the future, and I look forward to working closely with board members, the leadership team and colleagues across the business to continue to build on these strong foundations.”
Arch has also appointed Jon Perkins as chairman of the AIUK and AMAL board risk committees.
Perkins also serves as an independent non-executive director of AIUK and AMAL and was the group chief actuary of the Chaucer Group, where he worked for more than twenty years.
