Tokio Marine Highland (TMH) has appointed insurance veteran Steve Prymas as Chief Executive Officer, effective June 1.

Prymas succeeds Norman Heinrich, who stepped down after more than 30 years with the company in multiple leadership roles, including CEO since 2022.

Prymas most recently served as Chief Underwriting Officer and board member at global specialist insurer Hiscox. He brings more than 25 years of insurance experience and a proven track record of strategic decision-making and underwriting excellence.

“Steve brings a deep understanding of the U.S. insurance market with a career spanning almost three decades at firms including Embroker, Gen Re, The Hartford, Marsh and Reliance National,” said Matthew Shaw, CEO of Tokio Marine Kiln, parent company of TMH, in a statement.

Shaw said that Prymas’ “extensive expertise and experience will be invaluable as we work together to further our ambitious strategy.”

Heinrich will remain with TMH as a special advisor.
