LONDON, 10th February 2026 - Mission, the global MGA incubator, today announced the appointment of Tom Hill as Chief Commercial Officer (CCO) of the UK and European operation. Hill, a career-long MGA specialist, joins with a specific mandate: to leverage his deep technical underwriting experience to drive commercial strategy and to identify the next generation of high-performance MGAs.
Hill brings a unique combination of underwriting, DUA placement and MGA founding experience. Most recently, he served as Head of International Placement at Ryan Specialty Underwriting Managers International following its acquisition of Innovisk Capital Partners, where he led capacity and underwriting enhancements across more than 40 in-house MGAs. His track record as a hands-on MGA leader is a defining strength he brings to this new role.
Ross Dingwall, CEO of Mission in the UK and Europe, commented: “Mission is home to the market’s most ambitious underwriters, and to support them, we needed a commercial leader who speaks their language. Tom isn't just a strategist, he is a technical underwriter who has spent his entire career in the global MGA market. He understands the granular mechanics of pricing models, binding authorities, and capacity management because he has built them himself. This technical empathy is vital as we help our portfolio companies navigate an increasingly complex risk landscape.”
Tom Hill, incoming Chief Commercial Officer, added: “I have spent my career exclusively in the MGA sector, and I know that sustainable growth is rooted in adaptability and underwriting discipline. Having walked the path from initial launch to scaling to 25,000+ policyholders, I understand the friction points founders face. My goal as CCO is to bridge the gap between capacity capital and technical execution, ensuring our existing and prospective MGAs have not just the financial backing, but the underwriting architecture required to outperform the market.”
