The Hartford has promoted Ryan Murphy to be its head of credit and political risk insurance for the UK and Europe.  

Murphy has been a senior underwriter since March 2023 and joined the insurer as an underwriter in early 2022 from Liberty Special Markets.  

He replaces James Wilson, who has left the company, a spokesperson says.  

Connecticut-headquartered The Hartford opened its London CPRI unit in 2020. Earlier this year the insurer hired Shuohan Dai as a senior underwriter in Singapore, the division’s first presence in the trade finance hub.
