Strengthening Leadership: Chaucer Enhances Team with Key Appointments

Chaucer, the global specialty re/insurance firm, has made two strategic appointments. James Wright, the current Chief Risk Officer, transitions to the role of Chief Financial Officer, while Werner Joubert assumes the position of CRO. These appointments come shortly after the announcement of Richard Milner as the new Group Chief Executive Officer, reported by Reinsurance News in January.

Additionally, Rob Callan, Chaucer’s interim CEO and CFO, will remain in his role temporarily to facilitate a seamless transition before his planned retirement. This strategic decision ensures continuity and stability within the organization during this period of transition.

James Wright’s journey at Chaucer began in 2006, starting as a graduate focused on capital model development. With eighteen years of dedicated service to Chaucer, he has held pivotal roles, such as Head of Capital Modelling and CRO, showcasing his commitment and expertise. Paul Jardine, Chairman of Chaucer, commended Wright’s success, highlighting the firm’s emphasis on talent development.

Werner Joubert, who joined Chaucer in 2016, has been instrumental in enhancing the firm’s risk modeling capabilities during his tenure as Head of Capital Modelling. With previous experience at Ernst & Young (EY) and Aon Consulting, specializing in actuarial services, Joubert brings a wealth of expertise to his new role as CRO.

Richard Milner, Group CEO of Chaucer, expressed confidence in the firm’s talent pool, citing James and Werner’s promotions as evidence of Chaucer’s commitment to excellence. He looks forward to guiding Chaucer as it continues to solidify its position as a leading global underwriting group.
