Corant poaches chairman from Willis Bermuda

Corant Global has appointed Paul Scope as chairman of its Bermuda operations.

Scope has over 40 years of industry experience, and joins from Willis Bermuda where he has been chairman since 2015. Before that he founded Park International, serving as president and chief executive officer (CEO) for more than a decade and becoming chairman of The Park Group in 2003. He was appointed chairman and CEO of JLT Park Bermuda after the business was acquired by JLT in 2007.

At Corant Scope works alongside Chris Bonard, chief executive officer of Corant Bermuda and Ed Broking Bermuda, and John Turner, chairman of Ed Broking Bermuda.

Steve Hearn, Corant CEO, said the “appointment is indicative of our long-term ambitions in Bermuda and [Scope’s] invaluable expertise and deep market roots on the island will be integral to our continued strategic growth.”

Scope added: “As the world’s second largest re/insurance market, and the largest alternative capital and captive market, Bermuda is full of tremendous opportunities. Corant’s entrance here demonstrated the global confidence in our market and addressed the demand for a truly independent service.”
