“I look forward to the next phase of our growth.”

else Group currently has operations in the UK, Switzerland, France, Sweden, the UAE and the US.

The company leverages three business pillars to conduct its work.

The pillars are the London-based buy-and-build MGA platform Peloton Underwriting and ATOM Insurance Operating System, as well as Dubai-based MGA elseco.

Lemaire said: “Our technology, growth ambitions and Donald’s clear vision to expand the frontier of speciality underwriting are an ideal match.

“Don is an outstanding leader who I am looking forward to working with as we continue our international expansion.”

The latest development comes shortly after elseco announced the appointment of two space insurance experts, Laurent Esquirol and Ludovic Arnoux.
