Misty Looby

Misty is a seasoned governance and company secretarial professional with nearly a decade of specialist experience in the insurance and reinsurance sector. Since 2016, she has built a distinguished career working alongside Managing Agents, insurers, and reinsurers, developing a deep understanding of the unique regulatory and governance landscape that defines Lloyd's and the broader London Market.

As a Director at Clifford Hamilton & Co. Ltd, Misty brings a practitioner's precision to every engagement. Her expertise spans board-level governance, company secretarial practice, underwriting governance, and risk and compliance frameworks, equipping her clients with the structural foundations needed to operate confidently within an increasingly demanding regulatory environment. She has a particular talent for working closely with Boards to navigate complex regulatory obligations, ensuring that governance arrangements are not only technically sound but practically embedded across the organisation.

Misty is especially valued for her ability to engage at C-suite level, working with senior leadership teams to align their strategic positions with robust risk management practices and the expectations of UK regulators, including the FCA and PRA. Her approach is collaborative and commercially minded — she understands that effective governance is not a constraint on business, but a cornerstone of sustainable growth.

Academically, Misty holds an LLB (Hons) in Law and Business and a Master's degree in International Trade and Commercial Law, credentials that underpin her ability to navigate the intersection of legal obligation, commercial risk, and regulatory expectation with confidence and authority.

Whether advising on board effectiveness, supporting regulatory submissions, or designing governance frameworks tailored to the demands of the insurance and reinsurance market, Misty brings clarity, rigour, and a genuine commitment to helping organisations and their leaders perform at their best.
