SiriusPoint Restructures Business into Four Divisions
SiriusPoint announced changes to its business structure as part of the next phase of the Company's evolution. SiriusPoint will now operate through four business areas, including three globally focused P&Ls: Global P&C Programs, Global Reinsurance, Global Accident & Health, and a London Market Specialty division, which includes Lloyd's. SiriusPoint will combine its existing North America and International Programs businesses into one single Global P&C Programs division, which will be led by Patrick Charles, Global Head of P&C Programs. The new division reflects the Company's commitment to the programs space, further strengthening its offering to clients and distribution partners globally. SiriusPoint's new London Market Specialty division reflects the strategic importance of its London platform, including Syndicate 1945, and reinforces the Company's commitment to grow specialty business in London. SiriusPoint's London Casualty, Energy, Property, and Marine leaders will form part of the new London Market Specialty division, which will be led by David Govrin, President, in addition to his current responsibilities as CEO Global Reinsurance. As part of the changes, Rob Gibbs will be leaving SiriusPoint.
