SiriusPoint poaches casualty underwriter from RFIB Americas

SiriusPoint has poached a new senior vice president (SVP) of casualty underwriting from RFIB Americas.

At  RFIB Larry Hallett oversaw business development and servicing intermediary operations for its North American operations. He has 40 years of experience in the North American re/insurance markets, with a focus on casualty treaty reinsurance, alternative risk management, captives, runoff and fronting arrangements.

Before RFIB Hallett was managing director of 2 Wings Risk Services, where he was a reinsurance consultant and intermediary specialising in alternative risk entities. He started his career at the Constitution Reinsurance Corporation in New York, and has spent time at Western Atlantic Reinsurance Corp, Swiss Re and XL Financial Solutions, in the latter role serving as senior managing director for the structured indemnity team.

At SiriusPoint Hallett reports to Warren Trace, head of US and Canada, Americas reinsurance. He is responsible for casualty underwriting, including traditional and structured reinsurance, and on strategic initiatives involving casualty insurance, and is based in the New York area.

David Govrin, global chief underwriting officer and president of Americas reinsurance, said Hallett is “widely respected in the property casualty reinsurance industry, building, executing, and managing portfolios of insurance risk.”
