About James

I joined Hiscox in September 2020 as an Underwriter of Global Property and Energy business in the Major Property Team. Prior to this I worked as a Property Underwriter at Argo Syndicate 1200 for 9 years and as a Consultant in the Disaster Risk Financing and Insurance team at the World Bank. Outside of work I enjoy watching and playing most sports, particularly golf, swimming and skiing.
