Endurance appoints global weather director

Bermuda-based Endurance Specialty has appointed Michael Grundmeyer in the newly formed role of director of origination for the Americas at Endurance Global Weather (EGW).

EGW writes tailored weather-driven risk management products for corporations and municipalities that protect against variations in weather conditions and weather-driven commodity prices.

Grundmeyer joins Endurance from 3TIER, a technology and data analytics firm serving the renewable energy industry, where he’s served since 2008 as managing director responsible for developing financial risk management tools for energy trading companies as well as wind and solar project developers and financiers.

Martin Malinow, president of EGW, said: "Michael brings a broad range of experience and relationships which he's developed over his two decades working in traditional and renewable energy, project finance and weather risk management. This unique background will help EGW improve our product line and further assist our global client base in executing their risk management strategies."

Grundmeyer said: "I am excited to join the EGW team as I believe the continued growth of the weather risk management business will hinge on the development and execution of innovative weather-driven financial products to address evolving risks in a dynamic and competitive global business environment. EGW is well positioned to continue its leadership role given its global distribution platform, ample capacity and strong credit rating."
