Global insurance broker Howden has appointed Uri Dallal as Executive Vice President (EVP), Financial Lines for its recently launched US retail offering. He joins the broker upon the completion of contractual obligations to his current employer, Aon.
The pair will build a national Financial Lines practice as Howden US grows its specialty lines business in the country.
Currently, Dallal serves at broker Aon as a Managing Director and New York Market Leader.
He has spent the last 16 years at the firm and led the New York City office across risk capital, human capital, strategic account management and growing the business by leveraging relationships across its brokerage and consulting divisions.
Before this, he was a US Regional Leader in Aon’s Financial Services Group, leading teams that were working on Financial Lines products for publicly traded clients and large financial institutions.
Mike Parrish, Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Howden US, commented, “Creating a national Financial Lines practice group was a key objective for us as we launched a new retail offering for both clients and talent looking for fresh choice in the market.
“With Ron and Uri working together, we can quickly scale our geographical footprint and the depth of our expertise. I’m delighted that Uri has decided to join us, and again his appointment underlines the opportunity that talent sees with the business we’re building.”
Sarah Hughes, CEO, Specialty, Howden, added, “Ron, Uri and our Management Liability lead, Paul Figliozzi form a formidable team. I am proud to be working with such outstanding industry talent. We are now able to deliver best in class outcomes for our financial lines clients anywhere around the world from one aligned Howden team.”
