HOUSTON, Nov. 30, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Skyward Specialty Insurance Group, Inc.™ (NASDAQ: SKWD) ("Skyward Specialty" or "the Company") a leader in the specialty property and casualty (P&C) market, announced a series of changes to its Board of Directors (the “Board”) effective Thursday, November 30, 2023.

Cameron MacDonald, president and chief executive officer at The Westaim Corporation (“Westaim”) and current Chairperson of the Board, and Robert Kittel, chief operating officer at Westaim and current Board member, have resigned their positions on the Skyward Specialty Board of Directors.

Their leadership and support for our vision and strategy was instrumental in our journey to becoming the leading specialty carrier we are today,” Andrew Robinson, chief executive officer at Skyward Specialty commented.

With Mr. MacDonald’s departure, Mr. Robinson will assume the position of Chairperson of the Board. Additionally, Tony Kuczinski has been named Lead Independent Director.
