SiriusPoint goes looking for growth with new head of travel

SiriusPoint has hired Christopher Price as head of travel for accident & health. According to the company, he will lead its plans for growth into new markets and products across its travel business portfolio.

Reporting to global head of life, accident and health Stuart Liddell, Price will be based in London and oversee underwriting, distribution and strategy across the company’s travel book. He will also work with SiriusPoint’s managing general underwriters specialising in travel insurance to identify opportunities within the partnerships.

Price joins the Bermuda-based re/insurer from Zurich Insurance Group, where he was most recently head of travel and accident for EMEA. He has previously held senior positions with ACE, RBS Insurance and Cornhill.

“Chris is a highly-experienced, market-leading travel insurance professional. He brings valuable experience and product expertise to our Global A&H Leadership team, and I am delighted to welcome him to SiriusPoint,” said Liddell.

“We have ambitious plans to grow the travel book, to further expand and broaden SiriusPoint’s travel portfolio in other segments, and to work with our MGU partners to innovate in the travel insurance space. Chris will play an important role in helping us to deliver growth as we continue to find solutions to challenges our clients face in this expanding market.”
