Helios Underwriting plc (LSE:HUW) has appointed Jen Tan as Chief Underwriting Officer, promoting her from Head of Portfolio Strategy as the group sharpens its underwriting and capital allocation approach across the Lloyd’s market.
In her new role, Tan will take responsibility for portfolio underwriting strategy, syndicate capacity deployment, and ongoing portfolio management. She previously led portfolio construction and capital allocation across the company’s Lloyd’s platform and brings more than 16 years of insurance industry experience. Her career includes senior positions at Hiscox and Willis Towers Watson.
Management highlighted Tan’s data-led decision-making and underwriting discipline as central to improving portfolio quality and managing earnings volatility. Working closely with the board and syndicate partners, she is expected to play a key role in optimising capital deployment through the underwriting cycle, particularly as market conditions at Lloyd’s of London remain supportive.
While the company continues to face challenges around revenue consistency and cash flow volatility, management noted that valuation metrics and recent corporate actions—including leadership strengthening and shareholder-focused initiatives—offer potential upside over the medium term.
