Brit Insurance, the international general insurance group, announces the appointment of Baldeep Johal to the newly-created position of group chief risk officer. Mr Johal will join the executive management committee and report directly to group CEO Dane Douetil.

Mr Johal joined Brit in 2001 and was subsequently promoted to group chief actuary where he has created an actuarial and modelling team. He has led the group in implementing a new approach to reserving, introducing new pricing models, and building the group's capital models and exposure monitoring capabilities.
