Acrisure Re, the reinsurance division of broker and fintech platform Acrisure, has appointed Ian Wicks as executive vice president and Simon Arnott as senior vice president. Based in London, Wicks reports to partner Nigel Dane and will focus on casualty business with a broader strategic role in the reinsurance division.
Arnott is based in Bermuda and reports to Clark Hontz, president of Acrisure Re Bermuda. He will be responsible for sourcing new business and expanding Acrisure Re’s property cat and retro offerings.
Both bring significant experience. Wicks is chairman for non-marine reinsurance at Ed Broking and a former executive director of Willis Re.

Before that, he was executive vice president for underwriting at Tokio Millennium Re.
Hontz said: “I am delighted to welcome Simon to the Bermuda team. His vast experience in structuring and pricing programs, extensive knowledge of the ILS market and broad network of global market relationships will significantly enhance our production capabilities and market insights.
