Highland Insurance hires crop reinsurance underwriter

Tokio Marine Kiln affiliate Highland Insurance Solutions has
recruited James Tran as head of global agriculture from XL Catlin,
as the firm expands into agricultural reinsurance.
Tran was head of worldwide agriculture at Catlin and retained
his position after XL Group's acquisition of the carrier.
Highland said yesterday that Tran will be responsible for
developing its crop reinsurance business.
Tran will work closely with Tokio Marine Kiln's reinsurance
underwriters in London and Singapore.
