Lloyd’s global reinsurer MS Amlin has appointed Christiern Dart as CEO.

He will take the role in January, replacing Andrew Carrier, who will leave after three years in the job to become an executive officer in the Mitsui Sumitomo group, which owns MS Amlin.

Mr Dart was most recently Brit Insurance chief underwriting officer, having joined the specialty reinsurer in August 2006, according to his LinkedIn.

MS Amlin says Mr Dart helped Brit “navigate multiple major market events, deftly managing the challenge of balancing growth and bottom-line performance”.

Mr Dart’s appointment is subject to regulatory approval.
