TigerRisk drives growth in delegated authority business
TigerRisk Partners LLC has entered the Australian reinsurance and programme market with the appointment of Simon Chandler as head of reinsurance broking, programmes and binders. Richard Laird has been appointed partner.
“TigerRisk entered the delegated authority business market in 2019 and has been focused on creating niche portfolios and working with high-value-add MGAs,” said James Few, CEO of TigerRisk International. “We are absolutely delighted with Tiger’s growth in this area – our delegated authority offering is a fantastic part of our business model and fits very neatly into our analytical reinsurance culture.”
Based in Sydney, Chandler will be responsible for driving the development of TigerRisk’s delegated business in the Australia, New Zealand, and Pacific Islands region. He joins from Brokers Online Re, where he was reinsurance broking manager.
Laird will be responsible for finding solutions for innovative placements and structures in the US, Canada, the UK and Europe. He will be based in London. He joins from Ed Broking, where he was divisional director of alternative risk.
They will report to Neill Cotton, partner at TigerRisk Partners UK.
