Howden, the international insurance broking group, today announces the appointment of Christopher Dalrymple as Group Chief Legal Officer, effective 23 March 2026.<\/p>\n

\"\"Dalrymple will support Howden\u2019s growth ambitions, bringing over 25 years of legal leadership across the insurance and financial services sectors, alongside extensive experience in public company governance, private equity, and capital markets.<\/p>\n

He joins Howden after more than 20 years in senior roles at Alleghany Corporation, a re\/insurance holding company and former NYSE-listed firm acquired by Berkshire Hathaway in 2022.<\/p>\n

As Alleghany\u2019s General Counsel, Dalrymple led international legal teams, advised the Board and CEO on governance and strategic initiatives, and played a key role in major transactions, including complex mergers, acquisitions, and public offerings. His appointment follows the recent arrival of Susan Panuccio as Group Chief Financial Officer at Howden.<\/p>\n

David Shalders, Group Chief Operating Officer, Howden, commented: “Howden\u2019s ability to attract the very best talent is what sets us apart. Finding a trusted adviser to guide and grow our business as we deliver our ambitious plans is critical.<\/p>

“After a long and careful search, I am delighted that in Chris we have found an incredibly well-respected legal leader with sharp commercial acumen, deep insurance and reinsurance experience and a proven track record of leading through transformation and growth, including taking companies public. I\u2019m very much looking forward to working with him as we continue to build Howden and continue our growth trajectory.”<\/p>\n

Dalrymple added: “After an enjoyable and rewarding 24 years at Alleghany, the opportunity\u202fto join\u202fHowden\u202ffor the next ambitious chapter\u202fof its growth is truly exciting. The strength and depth of Howden\u2019s talent is impressive, and I am eager to now be a part of it. Howden has a special culture, energy and client focus that I look forward to supporting as part of the experienced and talented legal team already in place.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
