BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

London-based directors and officers managing general agent Rising Edge Ltd. has officially launched, recruiting former executives from American International Group Inc., Axa XL, Marsh LLC and Travelers Cos. Inc. to its ranks.

Backed by capacity from Bermuda-based reinsurer Vantage Risk Ltd., Rising Edge will cover U.K. and European businesses, including those with U.S.-listed securities.

Rising Edge is also supported by Accredited Insurance (Europe) Ltd., a Randall & Quilter Group Co., which is providing the required insurance licenses to write business.

Miles Murphy has joined Rising Edge as finance director and chief operating officer, the company said in a statement Wednesday. Mr. Murphy was previously head of operations and transformation services at AIG Asia Pacific.

Owen Dacey has been named head of claims, effective Sept. 1. Mr. Owen was most recently claims manager and regional practice leader, management liability, at Axa XL.

Eleanor Fisher has been named underwriter, effective in the next few weeks. Ms. Fisher was previously vice president and U.S. wholesale broker working on financial lines including D&O at Marsh in London.

Jamie Banks will also join as underwriter, effective June 1. Mr. Banks previously was associate underwriter on the management liability team at Travelers.

One of a growing number of new entrants in the D&O market, the MGA is led by industry executives Philippe Gouraud and Yoel Brightman.
