London, July 18, 2025 – Olly Litterick will serve as Head of Renewables, reporting to Ben Kinder, Chief Underwriting Officer of Tokio Marine GX. Rosa van Reyk has been appointed as Head of North America (West Coast) and Michael Galea has been appointed as Head of North America (East Coast), both will report to Olly. All three take up the newly created roles with immediate effect with further appointments expected as the business continues to scale its offering following its launch in May 2025.
Olly previously served as Head of London Market Underwriting at GCube. In this role, he was responsible for driving the company’s underwriting performance, underpinning its global expansion and overseeing a period of profitability in new and existing business. Olly brings nearly two decades of renewable energy underwriting experience to his new role and will oversee and develop GX’s global proposition across onshore wind, offshore wind, solar, and battery storage.
Rosa has 15 years of experience in insurance and sustainable power markets. She previously served as Senior Underwriter, Renewable Energy at GCube where - based in California for the past six years - she brought a wealth of expertise to the company’s insurance solutions, supporting clients in North America with the growth of large, complex risks. Michael, formerly a Senior Underwriter at GCube, brings over a decade of underwriting experience to his new role. He began his career in GCube’s London team in 2012 before moving to New York three years ago where his consistent track record of excellence has established trust in renewables underwriting from US clients.
Rosa (from the Orange County office) and Michael (from the New York City office) will lead TMGX’s renewables business in North America, taking on responsibility for planning and delivering the company’s underwriting strategy in the region as it deploys new resources to expand its insurance capacity for clients.
TMGX is Tokio Marine’s response to the growing demand for insurance that is critical to transitioning to a more decarbonised, sustainable society. Founded upon the decades of experience GCube has accrued in renewable energy underwriting, the market-leading offshore marine offering of Tokio Marine & Nichido Fire, and vast expertise from Tokio Marine’s global operations, TMGX is providing enhanced products and services for clients committed to sustainable practices.
Fraser McLachlan, Chairman of TMGX, said: “TMGX is a unique insurance proposition built on the pioneering spirit of GCube and the proficiency of Tokio Marine’s global operations. The appointments of Olly, Rosa, and Michael - bringing extensive knowledge and quality in underwriting strategy - place TMGX at the forefront of renewables insurance as it stands shoulder-to-shoulder with clients at each stage of their decarbonisation journey. We are delighted that all three have accepted new senior roles. Olly, Rosa and Michael are recognised leaders in the renewable energy insurance market and the ideal candidates to spearhead the growth of our offering to clients and brokers in this sector. We are looking forward to watching them shape TMGX’s renewable energy strategy moving forward.”
Ben Kinder, Chief Underwriting Officer, Tokio Marine GX, said, “The scale of the response to the launch of GX has been incredible. Demand for our launch product suite and wider initiatives linked to the green transition has surpassed all expectation and we are accelerating the roll out of our offering and management team to reflect this.”
