Crux Underwriting, a specialty MGA combining deep underwriting expertise with real-time data and analytics, today announces the appointment of Sam Worthington as Chief Data Officer. The move reinforces Crux's commitment to a data-first underwriting platform, designed from the ground up rather than built on legacy systems.

He will lead the build-out of a unified data architecture spanning the full underwriting lifecycle, with a focus on real-time portfolio insight, automated controls and institutional-grade reporting for capacity providers.

Much of my career has been spent modernising technology and analytics across insurance. Crux offers a rare chance to build a truly data-driven underwriting platform from the ground up. With richer data and automation, we can transform underwriting fundamentally by delivering faster, more accurate decisions and raising the bar for service in the London Market. Sam Worthington

Sam's expertise strengthens our ability to scale intelligently, giving us real-time portfolio visibility and the controls that the London Market expects. Graham Elliott, CEO of Crux Underwriting

Crux said its investment in scalable technology and analytics infrastructure is designed to ensure underwriting integrity keeps pace with growth, positioning the business to expand into new products without compromising portfolio control.
