Christine Dandridge
Executive Director
Atrium Underwriting P.L.C.
London
Age: 50
Christine Dandridge began her career at Lloyd's of London in 1978 as a broker. She moved over to underwriting in 1980 and was named deputy underwriter of Atrium's Syndicate 609 in 1984. She became active underwriter in 1997 and she has been a director of Atrium since 1986. Ms. Dandridge is currently a member of the Lloyd's Market Assn. Marine Committee and the Council of Lloyd's.
Greatest influence: "There were three people who influenced me: Sir David Rowland (former Chairman of Lloyd's) who gave me my first job--but for him I would not be working in insurance at all; Ian Posgate (former Lloyd's underwriter and former member of the Council of Lloyd's) who I worked for in my first underwriting position--he was a brilliant negotiator; and lastly Mark Denby, the founder of Atrium Underwriting who proved that it's possible to have integrity and still be successful in the London market."
