Canopius appoints former The Hartford executive as head of renewable energy

Canopius Group, the global specialty re/insurer with operations in Bermuda, has appointed Pat Milner as head of renewable energy.

Milner has more than 30 years of experience in the global energy insurance market and was formerly head of technical risks and managing director of the UK branch at The Hartford.

In his new role he reports to Rachel Sabbarton, head of energy at Canopius, assuming responsibility for servicing the existing book of business and client base, as well as building a strategy for the future.

Sabbarton said Milner’s “extensive expertise further deepens the bench strength of the energy division, which will be instrumental in realising both our renewable energy growth ambitions and the industry’s energy transition goals.”
