Markel strengthens Energy expertise and offering with the appointment of Camilla Roughan to Senior Underwriter

London, 26 March, 2026 – Markel International, the insurance operation within Markel Group Inc. (NYSE:MKL), today announced the appointment of Camilla Roughan, Senior Underwriter – Energy, effective immediately.

In her new role, Roughan will underwrite Markel’s Upstream & Midstream Energy portfolio, enhancing underwriting discipline, while strengthening relationships with brokers and clients. By sharpening portfolio focus and enhancing risk selection, she will bring greater clarity, consistency and confidence to customers navigating complex energy risks.

Roughan will also help streamline submission workflows and improve responsiveness across the Energy team, giving brokers and insureds quicker, more informed guidance on appetite and coverage, and a more efficient placement experience overall.

Based in Markel’s Marine & Energy division in London, Roughan will report directly to Tim Foister, Head of Upstream Energy.

Foister commented: “The upstream and midstream energy sectors are operating in an increasingly complex risk environment; from volatile commodity markets and geopolitical tensions to rapidly evolving supply chain pressures and heightened scrutiny around operational resilience. These challenges demand underwriting expertise that is both technically robust and commercially grounded.

Camilla’s extensive international broking and underwriting background, combined with her deep understanding of complex energy programmes, make her exceptionally well-placed to support our clients as they navigate this shifting landscape. Her ability to translate technical detail into clear, actionable insurance solutions will strengthen our offering and ensure we continue delivering the high-quality, responsive support our customers expect and value from Markel.”

With more than two decades of experience in the energy insurance market, Roughan brings significant broking and underwriting expertise spanning upstream, midstream, offshore construction and international energy programmes. Most recently, she served as Senior Broker and Account Executive at Price Forbes, handling major North American and international energy accounts.

Her previous roles include senior broking and account handling positions at K.M. Dastur Limited and Lockton Companies International, where she fostered deep relationships across London, Singapore, India, Latin America and the Middle East. Earlier in her career, she spent several years as an Underwriter at Wellington Underwriting/Catlin UK, gaining foundational experience in peer review, aggregate entry and actuarial modelling.
