Glover has more than 30 years’ experience in the London and global insurance markets.

While there, he held several key roles, including active underwriter, chief underwriting officer, and chief executive officer. When the business was sold to Hamilton Managing Agency in 2019, he became CEO and a member of Hamilton Group’s executive leadership team. Glover began his career at RM Pateman Managing Agency, and previously also worked at Hiscox and SVB syndicates.
At Mosaic, Glover’s role as CUO encompasses oversight of underwriting activities, portfolio management, claims, reinsurance, pricing and reserving.
White has worked in the Lloyd’s market since 1985, initially as a broker, and started his underwriting career at SVB in 1999. He was one of the founding underwriters of Pembroke Syndicate 4000 in 2004, establishing its professional lines division which he ran for a decade. He held a number of roles with Ironshore and Pembroke Managing Agency, later acquired by Hamilton Group, including head of distribution, chief underwriting officer, and director of the managing agency; he also served on boards of U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries.
At Mosaic, White’s role as EVP focuses on underwriting portfolio development and governance throughout regional offices. He will have particular responsibility for underwriting discipline within Mosaic’s syndicated capital management and consortia operations.
Bermuda-based Mosaic combines Lloyd’s Syndicate 1609 with a wholly owned syndicated capital management agency, enabling the company to identify, source and underwrite business on behalf of itself, along with other trade-capital partners. Its six lines of business launched to date include: transactional liability, cyber, political risk, political violence, financial and professional lines.
