RKH Specialty, part of the Hyperion Insurance Group, has appointed Deborah Duss as a divisional director in its marine, energy and construction practice.

In the new role in RKH’s power and renewables team, Duss will use her sector knowledge and experience to develop new opportunities, products and services whilst strengthening and supporting RKH’s fast-growing renewables practice.

Duss joins RKH Specialty from Swiss Re, where she was senior underwriter in the renewables product hub.

Duss brings over 15 years’ experience at Swiss Re focusing predominantly on independent power producers and utilities clients worldwide.

Commenting on the appointment, Paul Redgate, managing director of marine, energy & construction said: “Renewables is one of RKH’s fastest growing areas, as the adoption of large amounts of variable renewable energy poses challenges to the management and operation of energy systems. We already provide solutions to clients at every stage of the process and in every aspect of operation and Deborah’s experience and perspective will add a new dimension to our offering, as we look to develop new products and services.”
