Chambers has more than 14 years’ experience in the insurance industry.

He joined legacy Catlin in 2005 and played a vital role in establishing and developing the aviation portfolio which includes general aviation, airline and products risks in the Asia-Pacific region. In his earlier career, Chambers worked at Ortac Underwriting Agency in the United Kingdom as an Aviation Underwriter.
