Mosaic Hires Warty to Lead FinPro Lines for Americas Expansion

Mosaic Insurance, headquartered in Hamilton, Bermuda, hired U.S.-based finpro executive Sachin Warty to lead its global financial institutions and professional liability business as the firm prepares to expand both product lines across North America.

Based in Chicago, Illinois, Warty joins the specialty insurer effective December 15 as global head of financial institutions & professional liability (finpro). Reporting to him will be U.K.-based Francesca Harland, who becomes head of international, professional liability, and Jacqueline Hall-Shaw, named head of international, financial institutions.
