HIIG Forms Global Energy Division, Names President and Chief Underwriting Officer

August 27, 2014 - Houston International Insurance Group (HIIG) reports that Susan Swails has joined the company as president and chief underwriting officer of its newly formed HIIG Global Energy division.

 

Swails was most recently the global head of oil rig at AIG and previously worked with HIIG Chief Executive Stephen Way when he was CEO of HCC, the company he founded in 1974. She is an experienced underwriter of all forms of coverage provided to the “upstream” energy industry and familiar in leading large multi-national policies for substantial offshore and onshore energy companies, as well as smaller onshore operators and contractors.

 

"Susan is a special person that exudes strength and kindness at the same time. She is a true professional in every sense and HIIG is fortunate to win her loyalty,” said Way. “HIIG Global Energy will begin underwriting on January 1st and will be the first in a series of new initiatives at our rapidly expanding specialty group.”
