While we celebrate a new milestone for Brenna, I would also like to thank  Rachel Turk for her contribution to the success of Beazley as she takes up the role of Chief Underwriting Officer at Lloyd's, where she will no doubt make a lasting contribution to the future of our industry. Both Brenna and Rachel's new roles speak not only to their individual accomplishments, but also to the strength of the talent to which Beazley is home."
