To create a market-leading underwriting business, you need talented individuals with the necessary resources to do their best work. Supporting them with long-term options and creating an environment where their skills can flourish is key. This approach embodies the Rokstone philosophy, and it continues with the recent appointment of Claire Lill.
Claire joins our North American Casualty team from QBE, where she most recently served as Portfolio Manager, US Casualty at QBE Europe. With more than three decades of experience across London and international casualty markets, Claire brings significant technical expertise, market knowledge, and leadership experience to one of Rokstone’s fastest-growing specialty lines.
Strengthening an Already Formidable Team
Throughout her career, Claire has built one of the strongest reputations in the casualty market. She joins an established North American Casualty leadership team at Rokstone that includes Larry Burrows, Ben Baker, Alex Fitzpatrick, and Lex Beesley.
Together, they are building a casualty platform designed to combine underwriting expertise, long-term capacity partnerships, and advanced technology capabilities to create a differentiated proposition for brokers and clients.
As casualty risks continue to get more complex, our strategy remains focused on attracting market-leading talent and empowering underwriters to make informed, disciplined decisions supported by data, insight, and specialist expertise.
A Shared Vision for the Future
Rokstone’s North American Casualty business has grown rapidly by combining experienced underwriting talent with a modern operating model. Alongside long-term capacity partnerships, the team benefits from Rokstone’s proprietary underwriting and distribution platform, ATOMX, which provides enhanced data capabilities, portfolio insight, and operational efficiency.
The result is a business designed to scale responsibility, delivering creative underwriting solutions while maintaining the discipline required for long-term success. Claire’s appointment reflects our continued commitment to building a best-in-class casualty platform for brokers, clients, and capacity partners alike.
Speaking about her appointment, Larry Burrows, Head of North American Casualty Rokstone, said, “Claire has one of the strongest reputations in the market and brings a great deal of discipline, technical expertise, and strong broker relationships to the wider team. She is a natural leader in her class and significantly strengthens our ability to grow the portfolio and deliver creative solutions for our broker partners.”
We are delighted to welcome Claire to the team.
