Chris Jones is Liability CEO of Crux Underwriting, leading the company’s global liability underwriting across territories outside the UK and USA, with a particular focus on Canada, Australia, Asia, Latin America, Israel, the Middle East and Europe.

Before joining Crux, Chris spent 15 years at TM Kiln Syndicate 510, where he built and led Lloyd’s largest international liability book as Departmental Head of Liability. His earlier career included underwriting roles at DA Constable Syndicate 386 (now part of QBE) and international liability broking at Heath Lambert Group.

A graduate of the University of Leeds (BA Hons, International Studies), Chris has been recognised among London’s top underwriters, placing fifth in the Gracechurch Survey’s “Leading Underwriters” rankings in 2013, before turning his attention to management. He has also contributed to several Lloyd’s market initiatives, including the Lloyd’s Working Group on Canada and the International LMA Liability Committee.

Although his mother is a Wimbledon champion, Chris is self-confessed to be rubbish at tennis, preferring to spend his spare time on the golf course and skiing the Swiss Alps.
